Well there's a reason California is the agricultural powerhouse of the US. Ideal climate for all year round harvest. Do your sunchokes even die back in winter? Here they can flower until frost kills them in Nov or Dec but then they take a loong rest, only re-emerging in late May, later than most other plants. So they need to live off their tubers for about half a year, probably more.

Weather continues to be moist, after the hottest day of the year so far with 34°C yesterday, temperatures will remain below 20°C for the whole week. Expected night temperatures around 12°C. Feels arctic man. I bet even Kashtan has warmer weather.
