Hello :)
I bought some globe artichokes from Wilkinsons and put them in pots in the conservatory. They came on quite well, but 2 days ago, the one flopped and is now dead. Last night, the other one started to flop, I suspect the inevitable. I have put the pots outside incase they were too warm, but not likely. They weren't dry or overwatered.
Does anyone have any advice, please.
Thanks

Last year I brought my from wilkos never tasted before let alone grown but they did the same died but I left them in the ground and one came up again and is looking really nice now.
That's not such bad news then.. I'll leave them in the pots outside for now, and put them in the allotment when the bed is ready. Here's hoping ;D

I bought some from wilkinson's, yes they did grow but they weren't like the nice ones I got from the garden centre. In fact i think they are cardoons, the globe was very prickly and unappetising looking. The flowers were beautiful though.
I find with globes they will start to grow about now if there is a warm spell, but suddenly drop if followed by a cold spell, they usually bounce back again though. Mine have over wintered for the past 4 years and I always think I am going to lose them but they keep in bouncing back.XX Jeannine
I've got 2 plants outside which I actually moved a couple of months ago. They still have the old growth from last year but no new growth yet. I've put a cloche over them & am hoping for the best & have sowed some seeds which germinated really quickly.
