Another first for us in this locavore year! Yesterday we ate our first 3 artichokes. And were they delicious! Most of the leaves we ate with nothing on them. There is no such thing as local mayonnaise from the store, and we haven't made any. We did have a bit of butter on the hearts.

The plant is also beautiful. We have 11 more young flowers on the plant. We will let one go to seed.

We are 4 and 1/2 months into this project and I am still so glad to be doing it.

Hyperlocavore -> Yardshare

Ouch! I haven't posted in over 2 months. Well ... it is springtime, and the farmer, I, am busy in the field (backyard). Please know that my absence is not for lack of love for sharing with you.

Check out this great site: http://hyperlocavore.ning.com/

I love their promotion of - yard sharing !!! An idea whose time has come.

Finally, we, the core ELOY are now down to 12 participants, from 21, and are one third of the way through our project year.
