Farm tutorials will return soon, when the farmer is not quite so busy farming.

I really need to come spend some time and learn from you guys!
We’d love it!
Hi Madeline,
I want to grow artichokes for food. Does Helen grow hers from seed? What kind are they and could I get cuttings to root? All I can find in catalogs is seed and many things I read say they don’t come true from seed and that it takes much longer to get them going. I am no good at starting seed early inside and transplanting. I don’t have a good place to do it.
I will ask her and get back to you.
Apparently she has tried to grow the edible ones before and hasn’t been able to. These ornamental ones are from seed.
I’m so glad to see you online!! I used to work for Village Montessori School organizing visits to your farm for the elementary classes. Your nephew, Alexander Gibson was in the lower and then upper elementary class. My children graduated from VMS and they’re now at another school, and now that new school – The Atlanta International School would like to work with you in learning to grow a garden, possibly help you harvest foods during the year, etc.
Is there an email/phone number that I could give to AIS for contact or is this the best way. The old information I have is for Nic, but it was an email address for Madeline. Look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Marsi Bostwick
Nicolas’ email is madnic@mindspring.com
