The Last frost should be any day (night) now and I can’t wait. Literally had to cut the top six inches off the tomatoes I started. Yes, I did start them to soon.
Loblaws garden centre was open today and they had artichokes, so I grabbed three for $10. I let them go to blossom and they look like giant thistles. Simply gorg.
Richter’s mail order has arrived. Plant plugs are so small, but once potted on, they’ll be solid plants by mid summer. The Mayapples didn’t survived being in the mail, but the bay laurel and sweet grass did.

OMG! You have a green arm! Interesting about the artichoke plants. Must check that out. Your truly are an urban farmer. What fun!
Why thank you my dear! I’ll have to find a photo. It was a few years ago that I did it. Also the year I learned that hubbie doesn’t like fresh artichokes.
