Taking a break from the garden, even for a simple three-day road trip to beautiful Vancouver, means more work for the Gardeners! I’ve spent today playing catch-up —  watering, harvesting zucchini, raspberries, and lettuce, and checking on all the plants. This fella surprised me this morning.

Our artichokes, just babies planted in April, are a success! These perennials should provide many years of tender artichokes.
