Marigolds and Artichokes

One acre of these intensely colorful flowers can produce up to 250 pounds of seeds, making Lompoc one of the top producers of marigold seeds in the world.

In addition to flowers, we saw many fields of artichokes.  I can't wait to get home tonight and roast a chicken, steam some artichokes and pop open a bottle of chardonnay.  Artichoke leaves dipped in butter!!  Yum!!
