Every year I start out with the best intentions. I am going to grow soooo much. I start my seedling and nurture them daily as they grow. I get the garden ready and plant my tiny plants.....then we leave for vacation or Mammoth and the heat wave arrives when we are gone and decimates that which I had tended so carefully. So this year I decided to plant many things in pots and will wait until fall to plant a full garden, meanwhile I enjoy watching the fruits of my labor.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-nhQPN_SUCNetK-l086oRt3OUPhzZyl_qsB-D45vxTN_mv7U0qujIGqWS56-Xv008wnYR0l_lyswoC4wzf1yTJNAtVeKGT_2AEnXYxx6GHo8c-onPF9pyu1XVin9IYc75xptVTovLQ0vs/s320/fruits+of+my+labor+and+beach+june+2010+044.JPG)

One thing that comes back year after year in my garden whether I get to it or not is my artichoke plant that is now huge and productive.
