Artichoke

We were told when we bought our house in 1996 that the two artichoke plants at the end of our garden would last about 7 years. 21 years on and they still bloom/fruit every year. However as we never established whether they were edible or ornamental we have never tried to eat any!

Jack in London until tomorrow so I am here enjoying a glass of wine watching Roger F, the other love of my life, starting his Wimbledon semi-final.

And winning!! Well done Roger!
