spring weather today

Spring weather and garden catalogs seem to go together. My mail is packed with beautiful flowering pictures of plants, veggies, flowers, trees. The mood is right for thinking garden. This nice weather really sets the scene.
Tomato trees and long climbing tomato vines look interesting, never tried them have you? Mine are plain old tomato plants, not complaining.

My parents planted artichokes, cardoons. that I would like to try my skills with this year. The plant itself is attractive, and large and requires space. Has anyone out there some input about these plants raising them in gardens?

Time for my break, and my cup of Mint Tea. Mint raised from my own garden and dried and produced into Mint Tea, truly deliciious! Nita
