I’ll probably regret saying this ‘out loud’, but today I’m feeling like the queen of artichokes. FiMBY gave us 6 artichokes on Saturday to transplant. It was hot this weekend, so I just watered them and kept them in partial shade. I planted them out into the front garden after the day was cooling down on Sunday. I’ve been watering them in well; our front garden gets lots of afternoon sun . We’d been told to expect them to look a little sad from the transplanting shock but that they would recover. Our artichokes haven’t shown any sign of shock and to me seem to be growing already!
No doubt hubris will strike me down and they’ll be dead by the time I get home, but they looked so great this morning. I can’t wait for them to get big and delicious.
