Artichokes do grow in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s proof. Artichokes is one of the things customers asked for at the farmers market this summer. Next season I’ll attempt to provide a steady supply from late July onwards. They are a thistle, but the leaves are soft and look lovely in any garden. They are worth growing just for their looks.
I surely do love your blog! The animation you report in all you experience in your environment, without verbosity, speaks to my soul!
Thank you.
Artichokes in the PNW??? May I ask where you farm? I’d like to be you (when I grow up!).

Thank you. I am on Bow Hill, halfway between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.
