Hearty artichoke

This is the artichoke we thought we had lost in the winter frosts....

The cup in the foreground gives an idea of scale..

We were obviously wrong about the frosts!

Frost isn't a killer of Hearty Chokes... but over wetting is... the roots of yours are obviously well drained, given all the rain we've had this year... sorry, Winter!!

Norma - It could well be I will know if Elizabeth goes missing!! Happy Birthday!!

Tim that is interesting, it completely disappeared when we had -25C in the winter of 2011/12. It has certainly made a comeback!
