Very common along trails (I suspect it’s spread by human & canine trail-users) and growing like crazy in March/April before anything else. When they reach 1.5 meters or so they can completely close off a trail.<br /><br />Love artichokes. Just love ‘em. Of course that could be because I dip them in melted butter… Now I can’t stop thinking about them- will check for them at the market on the way home tonight.<br /><br />Have a great time in the field.Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-77113158353644403332009-11-10T04:44:24.776+11:002009-11-10T04:44:24.776+11:00...not because I'm a fan of eating artichokes ...<i>...not because I'm a fan of eating artichokes (I think they're pretty tasteless)</i><br /><br />Cardoons, on the other hand, are a fantastic vegetable, but really hard to buy.chris yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556240635442613879noreply@blogger.com
