About artichokes [View all]

Last edited Sun Apr 10, 2016, 02:56 AM - Edit history (2)

Many years ago I became curious about artichokes. I was in a restaurant where the most expensive dish was based on artichokes.

It's funny how I remember my introduction to artichokes, more than I recall the person I was with.

5 seeds cost a lot. You're lucky if you get 1 viable plant.

My sweet little dog is begging me to come to bed. I'll finish this later.


Update: I have a five foot artichoke plant. I'm waiting for the spectacular bloom. Don't get me wrong, I'm not growing this to eat. The edible part is not worth the price. The bloom is however, spectacular.

I get extra money when I have one in a flower arrangement.
