Garden Stuff

This year I am not doing much in the way of a garden but that doesn't mean my garden didn't decide to keep going without me. Today I snapped some pictures of a few plants I got really excited about. 
My artichoke plant is only a year old and is going great! I have  four artichokes and one is ready to be harvested!  I was so happy to see this. 

Chives are my absolute favorite herb to grow, I like that mine never seem to die and have this amazing multiplication properties. I swear I only bought one plant five years ago, and now I have a whole field of them. Of course when they bloom they look amazing. I love their color of purple.

  1. That's the great thing about chives. I like having a garden but like all my projects I will work furiously on one and then forget about it three weeks later. Chives seem to be the only plant that tolerates this. They pretty much just grow themselves. I don't even water mine; they have just been chillin' out, slowly taking over my little herb garden on my back porch for a couple of years now.

  2. And Rosemary. That stuff is amazing too. I have three plants, and they just keep going.
