Artickoke

After one year, this huge plant has finally produced artichokes! There are about 4 medium sized artichokes ready for picking :) If not picked, the artichoke will transform into a beautiful purple flower.


Also, we had a successful booth (below)at Earth Day, and many students and visitors visited our table for conversation and questions.



Our Herb Plot: Thyme, Sage, Chives, Oregano, Rosemary....
