$40 Artichoke

[eelgrass]

Here it is!

I bought 4 plants this Spring. I bought some compost, I bought some fertilizer, and I bought some Aphid spray.

I kept watering and digging out the weeds for months.

If I'm lucky, I think I might get 2-3 more Artichokes this year.

It tasted pretty good, but had a after taste like the Aphid spray smells.

I noticed they were $1.89 @ at the store.}>

I should get a bumper crop next year.}>

Nice choke!! A little hot butter and some garlic and you are in business!

You may have overspent a little this year but just think - next year you can apply for a gorernment subsidy not to grow them and come out ahead on the deal!

Thanks Roy. One reason I like them is because they kind of remind me of a turtle shell.

Eel, heck with the butter and garlic, dipping them babes in Best Foods Mayo is the only way to go.

That is either a huge choke or a smaller plate?? Congrats on your harvest, that a great looking artichoke!!

My plants are doing a little better than what I lead you to believe. I'm actually pretty happy with them. Now if I could just give away all the zucchini.

Nice!

Had artichokes in a little different way yesterday at a seafood place here in Albuquerque. Medierranean calamari. Came with artichokes, tomatoes, garlic and capers sauteed in a butter/olive oil/lemon juice sance. Good golly, miss molly!
