Okey dokey artichoke-y

About a year ago, we planted a couple of artichoke plants as a complete shot in the dark. We didn't think we had the climate to grow them but figured we'd give it a try. Just the other day, I found a lot of artichokes on these two plants. How exciting!

There's probably 12-15 on this plant alone.

Aren't they beautiful?

I'm looking forward to eating them.

You'll notice the picture of this second plant is far away. It's because of the weeds.

See? Giant weeds. I didn't want to walk through those.

Plus, I was in my standard flip flops...not good for weed walking.
