And they probably won't be as tender as the monsters you get locally. But they'll taste yummy, trust me. <br /><br />Don't worry too much about their inability to get really big. This is the way they are: "it's not you, it's me" is what's happening.Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878724196098024140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-31330447378172251612010-04-23T23:02:49.507-07:002010-04-23T23:02:49.507-07:00the 'choke is just a thistle no?

I'm just trying to grow them.<br /><br />Chilebrown: Ant infestation? Wow, that's rotten. I'll keep checking.<br />Isn't Zoomie going to the Asparagus Festival? Or maybe it's that she did last year. Or something. Have a lot of fun. Skip the asparagus ice cream.<br /><br />Mouse: You have a crop of chocolate sardines? My, you ARE a good gardener.<br />(You said knobs.)<br />I hope you'll give artichokes a try.
