HB: Debacle is the word! Anyway - they were stringy at the end of last year and I thought I'd read somewhere that if you left them for another season they swelled up like gigantic parsnips and were very tasty. You can't they don't and they aren't. If you get my drift! You can apparently cover them with leaves, straw etc to blanch the new leaves. Allegedly.
Andrew: greetings. Artichokes are good for many things but I didn't know you'd made dens in them! The meal was great thanks! Good to see everyone.
Don't work too hard! (Only joking!!!)See you soon, Mike
