3/🧵

Another thing I learned:

The reason I have never seen an artichoke even though I've planted the damn things for 4 years running, is that they have to get cold for a period, as though they survived the winter, before they'll fruit.

And also that because I live in zone 5, they won't actually survive the winter.

So I put the fuckers in the fridge.

And they do seem to be sprouting, although I may have waited until too late in the season to do this, and I'm not sure that they have enough time to actually produce the bounty of artichokes I was promised.

But at least I now know what the secret is for next year.

We predictably ended up with So Many Tomatoes, so here is my little tomato freezing zone: two small flat Pyrex containers to freeze them in a space efficient way and a ziploc bag for long term storage. I'll put the ziplocs in the chest freezer downstairs, forget about them, and then use them for soup in 2026.
