This handsome plant is an artichoke. The Farmer will probably only get to admire the plant as it is not likely to make it through the winter and usually doesn't bloom until the second year. Still I admire it nearly ever day.

They are 8 by 4 feet in size and a little over a foot deep.
The Farmer has planted a fall crop. It may be a little late but still lettuce and I am confident some some of the hardy winter greens will be able to feed some veterans and others soon.

Looks like a lot of good eating. I want some of those greens when I get home. I like the garden plots you fixed for the church and the Vets. I hope they get some veggies this winter. Hope they will take care of them. See you in a week.
