Mammoth Artichokes!

What started out as a one inch little transplant turned into a monster artichoke! That's what I love about gardening. It's magic. The littlest seeds turn into the most extraordinary things!

Tomorrow I'm going to find a place for all my harvested artichokes. I just don't want to say good bye just yet!

You might wonder why I didn't harvest the artichokes earlier so I could eat them. I did think about it. My son-n-law encouraged me to harvest them for Easter dinner. But I couldn't do it. I decided I wanted to see them bloom.

And I am so glad I did. I enjoyed every minute of my misbehaved artichoke. And I may even plant another one this spring!

Have a great weekend. Enjoy all the spring blooms!
