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!
