Well, it seems fresh grown artichokes really are better than any you can buy in the store or restaurant. Consider for a moment the incredible miracle of a single tiny seed that grows up to become a miniature produce stand. Starting the second year, that tiny seed gives you 10-12 gorgeous artichokes a year for the following 6 years. Seriously, now that is my kind of vegetable: plant once every 7 years. Could maintenance be any lower? Well, yes. Besides the bounty of given gifts, my garden never needs weeding. What? Oh, no you didn't call me that!!! It really doesn't ever need weeding! I framed up an above ground plot, filled it with wonderful soil and peat moss. And since there are no weeds to pull, I pretty much just move in and take whatever little treasures catch my eye each day. Yesterday it was two baskets of veggies: 7 artichokes, 4 cucumbers, 2 banana peppers, more lettuce than my family will eat in 2 weeks (and more and more is ready each day), orange and pineapple mint (I made tea), and a beautiful stalk covered with brussel sprouts. By the way, I stuffed and steamed the artichokes. Then we ate them before I thought to take a picture for this article. One might think this is a fish story; it's not. Just check out the pics of them still growing in my garden!
