Artichokes!!!

We planted two artichoke plants 2 years ago-- yet have not had a single artichoke from these plants. I don't have the greenest of thumbs & figured I had probably killed them or something. But then... one morning I walked by & noticed a little green bud. Now one plant FINALLY has 4 artichokes & the other has one. The kids seriously LOVE artichokes & Savannah thinks it is so cool that there are now some growing in the backyard. Hopefully they taste good!
