Huge Artichoke bush (PIX)

[rebbetzin]

My neighbors have the biggest Artichoke bush I have ever seen!

Here is a "Where's Heidi" photo of the Artichoke Bush.

My neighbor Bob, says he has picked over 50 artichokes off this plant and they are still coming!

Yesterday Bob made me the last stop on his "handing out" artichokes to the neighborhood.

I got 11 of them!

He says he used Fish Emulsion, and Bat Guano to grow such a big plant.

Wow! Does it grow all year in Tucson, or does it die back to the ground in winter? Here in Kingman, they die back.

I've never tried them either..but i have wanted to for a while now...
Whats the best way to eat them?
I know you have to get all the sticky "hairs" out of them first..?
