and five minutes later Coddy?

Better yet you could have asked him, he might well have pulled an offset off for you - and one for me too

Would be good to find out if it was a special variety, or just growing in pure-poo or somesuch

this stuff you are calling cardoons..looks like thistle weed we have over here.. never heard of anyone but cows eatting it though its a invasive pest here.

Cardoon is one of many species of thistle. I'd doubt it is one you have in KY though, but it is listed as invasive in California. Yours is perhaps more likely Spear Thistle (which is widely invasive in the USA).

we have that spear thistle here but we have a differant type as well dosen't get so tall and not as common. next time I see some I'll snap a picture

Artichokes are gorgeous on pizzas and yes Coddy they were huge at Harewood.

Grow eddoes...
