Artichokes season has Started

Early this Spring I put down a few sheets of old plywood at the end of one of my tomato trellises to kill off the weeds and such for my Artichoke Patch.
I got 50 globe artichoke seeds off of eBay and started them with my 2" soil blocker under florescent lights in my garage. After several weeks I pulled up the plywood and put down cardboard with 6" of compost on top.











Well today I started harvesting a few of the larger artichokes and  we had them with dinner. They were a little on the small side but tasted great.
