Artichoke
Remember when I dug up my Super Dead Artichokes, and instead of being dead a few of them were still alive, growing back from the rootballs? So I moved them to another bed (one with some shade) and they completely came back to life.
The Bare Glimmerings of Life, in September
Flourishing in October
Well they have continued to be alive and continued to flourish, but ONE of them, just ONE, has been confused enough by the entire experience of being pried out of the ground and buried in the shade to MAKE ARTICHOKES! FOR ME TO EAT! IN NOVEMBER!
Here you see the rare, unseasonal artichoke in the garden
I had it for lunch.
