Hi there

Would anyone like a few to grow on next year? 

If so let me know!

PS:  A lovely lady swapped some with me last year - sorry I can't remember who she was  :-[  but it seems only fair to pass a few more on this year to anyone who would like some!

Hi Louise

I would like to try some, never thought about Artichokes until I saw them on the Grow Your Own programme.

I will send you some Melon “Charentais” seeds to try if you would like some.

I’ll PM you my address.

Thanks for your PM's


By the way - they are JERUSALEM - I still have some left!

If you are after Jerusalems I would have thought it was way too early to be digging them up. I expect to have loads availabe from December onwards if this current offer expires.

As for globe artichokes, I could find a few cuttings if anyone wants some.

Oh they're ready alright!!  They seem to have grown like weeds!!!  Besides - I never dug them up - they were blown over in a gale and dug themselves up!!  LOL

Hi Louise,

I have never tried Artichokes so would love to give them a go if you have any left. What is the difference between Jeruselem and globe?

Thanks Shirl

Jerusalem artichokes are a tuber or some such thing, a bit like a potato. The flavour reminds you a bit of artichoke. The top of the plant is a big leggy sunflower plant but with small flowers.

artichokes proper are massive thistles, and you eat them before the flower blooms.

God that makes them both sound really weird.

Louise, you might have got your JA from supersprout as she sent a couple of people some last year.

Yes, she sent me some huge ones which I am treasuring. Lovely Supersprout.
