We got back from our vacation last night. I checked on the garden this morning.

The yellow flowers are from the book choy, it bolted. I’m guessing the book choy is not good anymore I’ve never grown it before so I don’t know.
Some of the radishes were ready to be pulled
My artichoke arrive in the mail. I didn’t know they came from tubers! I had started some from seeds. 1 is still hanging in there. Now I’m going to plant the tubers and see how they do

Sounds like you got Jerusalem artichokes, which are not artichokes, but an edible tuber related to sunflowers. Very delicious tho!

Top one is a bee balm… it looks different than the bee balm I see here ( I like yours better!)

Not sure about the second, I think it might be a milkweed, but I might be way off.

I was wondering! The first one just popped up 2 days ago and I only have a few, the second one I have dozens of. I've got alot of different wildflowers hidden in my little chunk of woods, I will try to get pics when I notice them

Man! Now I’m disappointed . I thought I was getting real artichokes.
How do you eat Jerusalem Artichokes? Like a potato?

Yes! I haven’t seen any for years. They are delicious!
I don’t know much about growing real artichokes, but I’m pretty sure it gets too cold here. They take more than one year to produce artichokes.....

Speck, on the left, is currently our eldest hen at age 6! Happy Birthday, Speck!




She knows her name and comes when called. She is lowest in the pecking order now, having fallen from lead hen a couple yrs ago. She’s friendly and wise and very much loved here.
