Light bulb keeps off the chill

Morning - greens, water, food!

A lovely green salad...the red leaves are "orach" which adds a beautiful magenta color

May 19 - messy porch with bigger birds!...time to move out...

Artichoke:  This plant wintered over next to the house (south side).  I had just thrown some straw and dirt over it but it grew right back.  This was the first head, and we got 4 more!  Now 3 new plants have been started from seed and transplanted....doing great!

This artichoke plant survived the winter next to the south side of the house with a cover of dirt and straw.  It came back strong and produced 5 heads!  More were started from seed this year and transplanted…they’re growing great!
