Summer is still kicking out Autumn which is knocking determinedly at it’s door. It’s been a pleasure to enjoy the garden that’s basking in sunshine. As if to celebrate we’ve a new bloom in the kitchen garden – a globe artichoke. I’ve grown these for the first time this year and looking forward to trying them out for size. I didn’t realise at the time of planting that they are a perennial vegetable so they are going to have to produce some awesome globes for them to justify their place as a permanent fixture. The signs are looking good though on the grounds of their rich colour and sheer architectural impact.
