Harvest is my favorite time of year.

I haven't been able to spend the time in my garden this year that I would like because of so many wonderful happenings, (like grandchildren).  But today  I harvested my first cabbage and artichokes EVER.  Check them out.
This guy weighed in at 5 lbs 8 oz when I cut it off!


My Cabbage Patch!  (mingled with artichokes)

 'This is my very first artichoke.  I decided not to harvest this one and watch it bloom.  
What a treat!  Just incredibly beautiful.


The artichokes that we will be having for dinner are a little smaller than I'd hoped,  but
they didn't get the fertilizer that they need, so maybe they will be better next year! (Or I could just
let them bloom for their beauty!)

    Delicious! For dinner I had artichokes, corn on the cob, cabbage and tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil with apricot balsamic vinegar. Yum! Everything but the corn came from my garden. (Oh, I did buy the mozzarella). ;-)
