The artichokes are making chokes. They're in pots because I had planted them by the raspberries and tayberries but I realized that wasn't going to work out. Looks like I'm going to have to take out another bit of grass in the back and get them planted back in the ground. I really didn't think they were going to do anything. But since it looks like they are I might as well get them in a better environment so they can thrive. It's a perennial and can get big so it will come back bigger each year. Probably get only a few this year but if I get it planted in the ground where it can grow I should get a a couple dozen next year. Somethings eating the plants. I think it's slugs. Dealing with that issue today.
This is the Romanesco variety. Interesting fact, they have been cultivating these since the 1400's.
