GLOBE ARTICHOKES

A field of globe artichokes that I saw during my walk with Christine. Globe artichokes are quiet popular in Maltese cuisine ; Christine just loves them. There is a mystery to me about this field – the artichokes are past their prime and are beginning to flower (see insert) and are therefore unsaleable. Pity they haven’t been put on the market.
Thank you very much for your visits, comments and fav's.

I like the close up insert! I eaten artichokes, but never ever prepared it myself... maybe I should!

Oooh I have not eaten one in years, what a lovely sight to see a whole field of them.

Shame they are past their edible stage. Maybe because of Covid it was difficult to farm them.

[Diana]

What a waste, I do love eating them but also enjoy the flowers.

[Beryl Lloyd]

I wonder why they have not been harvested - perhaps they have been grown for seeds ,

They are so rare here - globe ones - but found some recently in our Farmers' market so snapped them up! I love the soup!

[Susan Wakely]

Let’s hope that there is a good reason for leaving them. I am sure that the insects are benefiting!
