Title: Globe artichokes are confused too
Post by: Squash64 on January 10, 2012, 13:36:42
Yet another plant that is a bit confused, these globe artichokes were grown from side shoots last year and two are producing fruit now.

The row along the path look almost as good as they did in the summer

I popped two plants in last year and they seem to be growing quite happily.  I was not expecting them to keep going this long but my cardoon in my border is looking brighter than usual too.

gosh! I usually get artichokes here in April!!! Mine are flourishing, usually they die right back now, but they are still large, especially the two Italian artichokes I planted in October. I will have 5 plants this year! woohoo, love artichokes.
