Last night, I boiled up about 15 artichokes in a big pot with a little lemon and salt. When they were done, I took off all of the leaves and discarded them. I took the "hearts" and dusted them in flour and S&P, then egg/milk mixture, then tossed them into a bowl of panko, bread crumbs. From there, they went on to a lightly oiled, sheet pan and into the oven at about 400 degrees F. They baked until they were a nice golden brown. They were heavenly!

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.

I Do have a patch of asparagus and it Does grow like crazy too! Asparagus season is over now. The plants are about 5 feet high and thriving. I'll divide the crowns next year and try to find more space for them. I'm really enjoying both the artichokes and asparagus. I could never grow these things in the arid climate that I used to live in. We have so much rain here, in Mendocino County, but I love all of the things that I can now cultivate.
