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.

They're great aren't they? I have been harvesting mine off and on since March, but I sure do miss the bottled Green Goddess dressing we used to fly home with us during Christmas holidays. This year I prefer the artichokes plain over being dipped in butter.
