Photo of the Day
After trying for 3 years, I’m finally – successfully! – growing artichokes. I’ll be posting my entire journey through this at a later date, but here’s my photo of the first harvested one:

You rock
Ha! Thanks. I’m feeling pretty accomplished on this one, I must admit.
Well done Lesley! We put in artichokes last year and harvested some this year. Then our 4 plants all up and died. Hmmmm…..
Oh no! I’d be crushed. We can only grow them as annuals here though I’m still going to try and over – winter them. I wonder what happened to yours!
This is an amazing picture!
Best stuffed artichoke I ever had – 30 years ago – in Manhattan, in a restaurant owned by none other than Grandpa Munster. Or the guy who played Grandpa Munster. He was much more jovial on screen than in person. He walked around his restaurant puffing on a cigar, scowling at people. BUT man, I still remember that stuffed artichoke!
That’s officially the best artichoke story I’ve ever heard. Too cool.
Huge congrats Lesley and I look forward to the forthcoming posts and yes you have guessed it……more recipes please!! Have a great end to the week.
Thanks James! Hope your week is going great!
