At first I thought it was some sort of tropical flower but looking again it does look like borage. I just wish that it grew higher so that we can see the beauty of it
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

That sounds as though cardoons are going to be worth eating after all; so far, I've treated it as an ornamental. Do other people not blanch them at all?

Mine are a bit mini since they didn't do well last year and I thought it was because I'd moved them and put them under the hedge, and I moved them again. I now think it was the effect of having been moved plus the waterlogging so I'm going to leave them and let them turn into triffids.

My husband would say you like to move plants to keep them from getting over-confident!
