Artichokes

Artichokes are in season now, and can be purchased in the markets and at the grocery stores.

In past years, I have seen fields and fields of artichokes that were not harvested. Apparently, there was such an over-production of artichokes that it wasn't worthwhile to harvest them.

This particular field is along the Yarkon River near Petah Tikvah and Hod HaSharon.
