Artichoke Plants Update
I discussed in a previous post, Artichokes in Florida, that I was going to try my hand at growing these. Well so far the results are outstanding. On the left is one of the artichoke plants which I planted from seed only last month! As you can see, it is growing like crazy in “my secret formula” (no secret really). I decided to plant them in deep containers so that I could decide which areas of the yard they favor the most (and then I will commit them to the ground etc.).
Since I am discussing updates, here is the top of one of my ten pepper plants which I planted from seed in late January. They are already about 2′ tall and loaded with new blossoms and peppers. This is an Anaheim pepper (the type used in Chile reinos). I also planted the rare heirloom “bull pepper” and one other unknown variety. These are all being grown with all natural products and no chemicals whatsoever.
