I meant to post these pictures some time ago. The artichoke flowers have been spectacular this year. They really make for a good show, especially since you don't see many gardens here in New England with them. And the insects love them as well. In the late afternoon, the bumble bees bury themselves into the bright lavender centers to rest for the night. I'm looking forward to harvesting the seeds to grow them again next year.
They are really beautiful. But doesn't that mean you don't get to eat them? Or do you harvest some and let some bloom?
ReplyDeleteI harvested the first bud from each plant, which is the biggest, and let the others form full flowers. Though I ended up regretting this a bit because the ones I did harvest were delicious. Next year, I'm not gonna let as many go to seed.
DeleteBeautiful photos. I love it when the bumble bees find the artichoke blooms, it looks like they are swimming through the stamens. I have one potted artichoke plant that I grow just for the flowers, I never harvest the buds. They are worth growing just to see them bloom. I'm surprised that more gardeners don't grow them as ornamentals.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen artichoke blossoms before - those are truly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMonday morning I marched towards my office with my old suede jacket in a shopping bag. I had thrown in a couple of pairs of old long woolen socks as well. I rounded the corner and stopped short. Good Morning Monday

ReplyDeleteSo who is to blame for this? Well I think both sides are and I think it will go on and on because as a worker I would say your hands are tied, you need your salary to survive so wouldn't want to rock the boat - yet is it right that your health and happiness suffer and that of your closest family who see more of a bottom of a bag of crisps than of you? And the company who will just carry on because at the end of the day people are putting up with it and getting on. 먹튀검증 커뮤니티
