Artichokes

 We have loved planting a garden for the past couple years.  This year we bought 4 artichoke plants that everyone was super excited about.  I spent $25 on a bigger one from Armstrong, and the other three we got from our favorite nursery for $1.50 each.  The small ones grew just as big as the one from Armstrong.  Kinda hilarious.  We got more artichokes than we could eat.  The kids loved checking for new buds every day.  Now that the artichokes are done for this year, we check how our pumpkins are growing each day.

I dream of the day when we can grow our own garden. Those artichokes are beautiful! Nice work!
