First Artichoke

Today we ate the first artichoke of the season.  We have a huge artichoke plant that survives without any outside help.  We hardly, if ever, water it.  It gets plenty of sun and probably quite a bit of wind too.

Last year we ate, with help from our neighbors, over forty artichokes off of that plant!  They are delicious, too, by the way – big, meaty and delicious!

There are quite a few on today, but only one was big enough to pick and eat – so we shared it – it was really good!
