Several of the artichoke plants have small artichokes developing among their leaves, so it looks as though it may be a better crop than last year when the plants took too long to recover from the cold winter.
We should be eating our own artichokes within a week or so!

…about to flower, while the broom and Banksiae Rose are almost over….
