Having survived the hot summer when they go dormant my globe artichokes are
re-growing now the weather is cooling. And guess what....
I am going to have autumn flowers as well as the usual spring ones. I could
get used to two crops a year.
Hallelujah brothers and sisters! Hallelujah!

Gotta get around to growing some globe artichokes one of these days...
Even though totally unrelated:
Looks like my Jersualem Artichokes are close to flowering now, at long
last. Frost permitting...
Also have Chinese Artichokes established - but have not yet tried them,
no idea what they taste like.
