Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?
Thanks Mark,
I grow these from seeds and they taste a way better than store bought ones. On the other side I never tasted green ones so I cant compare. They are great growers, pushinx aprox. 3-4 heads on a stem.     to bad that picture cant express the real colors

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?
Violetto Artichoke is popular in southern Europe. The plants are available from better independent nurseries (
 ) here in the U.S. and the seeds are also available online. For my tastes, they are one of the best artichokes you can grow. For green artichokes, I prefer the Imperial Star over the other varieties; e.g., Green Globe.

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?
Ante ----------- you cut them off without the stems.. That's one of the best parts. Do they grow that way? Are the first picks short stemmed?

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?
Ante ----- here is a more detailed recipe from the general one I sent you. Specially edited.
STUFFED ARTICHOKES Using bread crumbs and herbs to stuff artichokes for special occasions is a festive Italian tradition 4 large Croatian artichokes 2 cups herbed bread crumbs ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley 1 tablespoon chopped oregano Salt and pepper Wash artichokes under cold running water. Cut off stems at base and remove small bottom leaves. Cut off top quarter of artichokes; discard. Spread leaves, remove center leaves and fuzzy centers with a spoon and discard. Toss bread crumbs with cheese, olive oil, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Stuff bread crumb mixture between leaves of artichokes and fill centers. Place stuffed artichokes in a 9-inch square baking dish. Pour 2 cups boiling water around the artichokes. Cover with lid or foil. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40 minutes or until artichokes are tender. Remove artichokes from baking dish and place on rack; cool to room temperature. Makes 4 servings. Last edited by bananimal : 04-28-2012 at 10:48 PM. Reason: spec country of origin |

It's a lot of work to prepare just for a vegetable dish but it is so good. I have to spend extra time picking out my teeth after eating because I get carried away and eat too much of the leaves. And you have fresh first press olive oil to use now - wonderful! |

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?
Ante, that's a really cool setup for growing strawberries. Is that something you made or bought? Is it just a metal tube with cuts in it that is bent?
