Comments: Grows best in frost-free areas with cool, foggy summers. Plants grown in the North tend to be killed by frost before they become large enough to flower. Keep well watered and fertilize with 15-30-15. In fall, cut plants a few inches above the ground. In the North, cover with half-bushel baskets and mulch over them. Flower heads develop the second year. Replace plants every 3-4 years. Harvest flower buds when they are about the size of a fist and before they begin to open. Include 1.5 inches of stem with the harvested bud.

Artichokes are great eating especially if you pick them while they are small, about the size of a golf ball. You can steam them and eat the whole thing. Like anything else, you have to know how to cook them.
