Artichokes are just big thistles

Here’s a photo of the artichoke plant in my garden. You can see the huge flower buds that are the artichokes we know and love. We decided to leave these artichokes un-cropped so that they can flower instead of being snipped and eaten in the bud. I’ll show you how they bloom in the next couple of days…
