Hello, everyone
We have just moved (a couple of miles down the road) but out of the parish, and that means we will have to give up our lottie by the end of the year. On the plus side - we are renting a cottage with a garden twice the size of the lottie, and yes, it's got a fabulous view, surrounded by barley and oat fields.
We are allowed to turn the whole garden into a veg and fruit patch, and I'm busy digging it and have already had a bumper crop of stones - enough to rebuild Stonehenge.
Now the question: last year I planted Globe Artichokes (and cardoons) at the lottie. The 'chokes are doing well now and will have a nice harvest. However, as they were my second attempt (failed miserably the year before) and I believe they are perannual I'd like to take some of them over to the new garden. Is it possible to transplant the established plants? And what is a good time for this (well, got to be done before the year ends)
Any advice would be very welcome.
