1 Year Old Artichoke Plant

I've been growing artichoke plants for over a year and they are extremely healthy. I have eaten an artichoke that grew in my garden and I never want to touch a store bought artichoke again! I only wish that I had more artichoke plants and that the growing season was longer!

Check this blog regularly for updates regarding my artichoke garden. I'm working on getting clearer pictures of my artichoke plants and I will post the picture here on this Garden Blog.

I also plan to share with you some of the many artichoke recipes that I just adore!

So Stay Tuned!

Peanut Plants, MidSummer Update

Peanut plants are very pretty! They remind me of Mimosa plants (The Sensitive Plant). Peanut plants are larger of course. A peanut plants leaves close-up just like a sensitive plants leaves do. So far I have noticed that a peanut plants leaves will close-up when the weather is hot, if the dirt is dry, when it's nighttime or if you stress the plant in any way.

I will touch a few of my peanut plants leaves to see if they close-up upon contact or at all. I'm surprised that I haven't tested it yet. I will share my results with you in the next few days.

At this time, 2 out of 3 of my peanut plants are doing great! One plant is dying or 'hanging on for dear life', I will move this plant into a more shady area and see if that helps at all. The other two healthy plants are sprouting yellow flowers all over them. These flowers will eventually bury themselves under the dirt where they will turn into peanuts! I'm very excited! As usual, I can't wait to eat some homegrown peanuts.

See you soon!
