Fresh Artichokes Anyone?
Okay, so we were in the garden center this spring and saw some artichokes in four inch containers and decided to give one of them a try . . . and we have been pleasantly surprised - this lovely plant with large leaves was growing mightly all summer . . . but it wasn't until August that little artichokes showed up. We have enjoyed several now - their were a total of seven artichokes on the plant, so if they survive this upcoming cold spell . . . we will still have a few more to enjoy this fall and with Hollandaise sauce on the side.

Yummy! I didn't know we could grow artichokes here. We'll have to try that when we get a garden someday :)
That's the first I've heard of growing artichokes. I'll have to tell Doug. He loves to try new things. We had several cantaloupe this year. I wonder if we are warm enough to try artichokes. Looks good!
Wow! That is so cool! Thanks again mom for all you help with canning and everything these last few weeks! It's so nice to go down to the storage room and see all the new jars of food!
