[Garden] Artichokes!

[J. Rochon]

Paul,
       I'll try to remember my camera, and likely forget. I'll also try 
to remember to bring a paper bag to hang in the shed. A friend of mine 
claims that this will fool the wasps into fleeing the 'enemy nest'. One 
of them test-landed on the back of my neck recently. A wasp bottle may 
be in the future.
