I am due to post some artichoke tubers tomorrow to Jeannine - as I have never posted them before, just wondering if I should take any special precautions? Do they need to be surrounded by something moist? Having inherited my artichokes, I have never bought any, or even used the ones I had - for the first season, I didn't know what they were! Thought they were a giant weed, until I dug a few up and saw the tuber! Doh!
