The tender-hearted
artichoke
dressed up as a warrior,erect, it built itself
a little dome,
it kept itself
impregnable
beneath
its armoured leaves…
Pablo Neruda
I look forward to devouring some tender-hearted artichokes later this year and to ensure an ample supply I am adding another half dozen plants. Following the lead of gardeners like Rosalind Creasy and Ivette Soler, I am interplanting the new plants with flowers.
Also, found this great article on growing artichokes in California published by the University of California.
