RE: Artichokes from an Americentric Point of View
Yummy! Interesting to learn more about this not so well known vegetable. On that US growing map there should be a very tiny little red dot on the east coast in Maine where Eliot Coleman’s farm is (4 Seasons Farm) as he goes the extra mile to grow them there! He’s got quite a system down proving it can be done!
I didn’t grow up eating them, but have grown to appreciate that unique sour soft texture (once cooked). So beautiful when they’re in the field with those purple flowers and regal green stalks! 💚
Oh yes, I've heard of him. Eliot can grow just about anything in those hothouses of his!
