Perennial Veggies

I would love to have Jerusalem artichoke and that cabbage sounds fabulous. I'll wait on the cabbage, it would probably burn up in AZ. I'll give it a try after we move, which will be sometime in the next year.
I assume with the JA, I could buy some at the store and stick them in the ground? Our gourmet grocery sometimes has them. The extension office says to plant them in January but if their so hardy, don't you think they'd grow anytime?
I'm sowing some Welsh onions, chives and more garlic chives this weekend. They do really well here. I also bought some African blue basil to try, although that may end up being more for ornamental, I heard its very campherous. It might be good for tea. Or, maybe the hummingbirds will like it.
