Artichokes and Greens We have harvested our first mustard greens of the year. The greens are growing like crazy this year...we put in mustard greens, collards, and cabbage. I just read that if you plant basil next to cabbage it keeps the cabbage worms away. Anyone tried that? Our first artichokes were good but we had to soak the earwigs out..am gonna try the rolled wet newspaper to see if that works...not a terriblly lot of meat to the artichokes but we have kind of ignored them until this year. Come visit me, Little Suburban Farm.	05/04/2011 10:38.47 AM	Report This Comment
