4 gallons? In a single can or 4 1-gallon cans?

I am having trouble imagining using 4 gallons all at once. But, if I had to I would probably make many batches of Roasted Pepper and Artichoke bites and other apps along those lines and take my chances of freezing them in smaller containers.

Hi Emmaclark, Welcome to Garden Web and The Plant Exchange! You have no email link on your member page, thus no way to email you. To set up your email link, just go to the bottom on any page here, and click on Member Pages Then click on Edit your Personal Information, Page, and Preferences You will then probably be asked to login in again. Then check the box Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site. For ease in trading you should check the box to show email addy to Members That will place a link on your member page, making it handy for members (potential traders) to reach you in the future. While there editing you might want to also place your state abbreviation in the one box provided for garden zone and location. (see I am zone 5/6 S In) It is beneficial info to have when trading for many reasons. Additionally, there are some traders (myself included) who often do not respond to many posts where the location of the OP is unknown. By putting the state abbreviation in your zone box, it will be listed in your Member Page, and it will also automatically be displayed each time you post. I see you have checked the box so that follow up replies will be emailed to you. I'm not sure if your lack of email link hindered then coming to you or not. Anyway, to email those who have posted to your thread, you can click on their member names here in the thread, and that will take you to their Member Page, and a link where you can email them. You won't however be able to email member name thelazygardener, as he is like you, and has no email link on his/her Member Page. Happy Gardening and trading. Sue ...chemocurl

Disgusting things eating my artichokes, HELP!!

I'm uncertain what good you'd do by cutting the plants to the ground. Since the plants are new, you obviously had the bug in the neighborhood before the plants got there, so it's not like the bug will cease to exist because you cut your plants down. I'd just spray them and be done with it, but if you want to be organic, I suppose you can dust the plants with diatomatious earth, or spray them with neem oil.

Mine do this every year when it starts to get too warm. I spray with water to wash all the aphids off, then spray with a mixture of neem/peppermint castille soap and water. I do this every 5-7 days and if it needs a water spray in-between, go ahead.

They are 4 1-gal cans of quartered artichoke hearts in water. Once the can is open do you think I can freeze some of it? Patsy

I don't see why you couldn't freeze some. I might try putting some in a jar with garlic, herbs, vinegar and olive oil and keeping them in the fridge to put on salads. Otherwise, cream of artichoke soup, French fried artichokes, artichoke salad sandwiches, artichoke and (your choice of meat) omelets, artichoke tapenade, grilled cheese and artichoke sandwiches...

Jealousy! Let me just add spinach and artichoke dip to rachelellen's list... And actually, one of the best versions of hummus I've ever had included artichoke hearts...

For salad suggestions, I once had a chicken and arugula salad with artichoke quarters and cilantro in a light vinaigrette that was absolutely delicious. Lucky you!
