Organic Non-GMO Artichoke Seeds

Organic Non-GMO Artichoke Seeds We offer certified organic artichoke seed for green and purple varieties. Although artichokes are perennials, certain varieties can be grown as annuals, even in cold climates. Italian immigrants introduced artichokes to north coastal California in the early 1900s and the ideal growing conditions of the region caused the crop to take off. The small city of Castroville, California now claims the designation of "the Artichoke Center of the World".

Legend of the Dogwood Tree.

Legend of the Dogwood Tree. Legend has it that dogwood was once a tall tree, but that changed when it was chosen to make the cross where Jesus Christ was crucified. The legend says the tree was ashamed, and asked Christ to forgive it. Christ commanded that from that moment on, the dogwood would be slender and twisted so that it could no longer be used for a cross. The tree was designated to bear flowers that were cross-shaped, with a crown of thorns in the middle, and nail prints stained with red at the outer edge of each petal. Of course, flowering dogwood is not native to the area where Christ was crucified. I think this was interesting to publish on my blog about the Dogwood tree. Thank You for reading Gardener Den
