My first artichokes!
While I was away in New York, my artichokes decided to take off. Talk about a watched pot never boiling… its size and status were pretty much static for most of this year, until I left.
So here they are, the first fruits of my year-old artichoke plant. I need to google about when I should harvest them – the biggest one looks like it is starting to open, and I suppose that this isn’t a good thing. I wasn’t prepared for hot artichoke action while I wasn’t here to research it in a timely way!
So here’s a picture to tide you over. I canNOT wait to see what a home grown artichoke tastes like. Also: will be using our organic fertilizer soon to see if we can’t coax a little more size out of the still growing baby artichokes.
