This might be the coolest thing I've ever grown 🤩
I've always been fascinated by artichokes. Like, who looked at this prickly thing and thought "I'm gonna eat you"??
But they are delicious and one of my favourite vegetables!
I really wanted to try growing my own this year, even though I don't have a lot of in-ground growing space in my backyard.
For months I thought that I had failed, because it was all leaves and not even a tiny side of an emerging bud.
And then one day this beauty just showed up! I was hoping that this would get a bit bigger (and there was a second smaller one as well) but after waiting for a few weeks I realized they had grown as much as they could for the season.
Apparently these can grow as perennial plants in my climate (zone 5b/6a depending on who you ask) so I might get more again next year!
These were grown from the Imperial Star seeds from @westcoastseeds.
👇 Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever grown artichokes!
