As for the plants, I couldn't kill them if I tried. They grow like crazy! I just harvested about a dozen medium sized artichokes and have at least a couple dozen more on the plants that will be ready soon. Anyone have some good, healthy recipes for artichokes? Thanks.

Lots of Lemon Mayo for dipping. I love them. Do you also have a patch of asparagus? It will grow like crazy too, plant some and just let it go. Self-multiplies and comes up every year, bigger and better than before.
