A Welcome Return


Extremely grateful that the artichoke has come back. Two plants so far.

    I miss my artichoke like crazy. I have to find somewhere good to put a new one.

    Put in multiples if possible! We never seem to have enough. They're so tasty.

    We just recently had to chop up our entire artichoke because it was so infested with aphids. Have you guys had aphids before? Any remedy recommendations (ladybugs didn't seem to do the trick, nor did organic spray).

    Yes, we have lots of ants and aphids in our garden. A reader suggested Mrs. Meyer's Basil dish soap. Specifically basil. Extremely diluted. It's been helping us so far.

    What I've been tried to do is make the soil stronger with compost, worms & nutrients (nothing synthetic). The journey is unfolding even now.

    Great - we'll try that. Thanks, Julia!
