Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
I was amazed to find a neat little artichoke on one of the plants which I grew from seed this spring. They are supposed to be bi-annuals and the lady in the Garden Shop told me I would have to lift them in the autumn and re-plant them next spring as they are not hardy enough for Finnish winters.I need to go back and ask her for more detailed instructions. Well, I probably will lift them but, if I'm lucky, I might get a small helping of Carciofi alla Romana before I do!!! Actually I would have no clue where to start but they are just as nice au naturel with a vinaigrette dressing.
