Comments (1)Growing them in raised beds is not a problem. They are perennial but not in zone 5. Planting in the spring as would be required in your zone, your chances of harvesting a crop before frost is not very good. In the US artichokes are grown along the California coast commercially, where there is little chance of a heavy frost. After harvest is over the plants are cut to the ground to regrow from the roots for next years harvest. Al...See MoreHAVE 4 green globe artichoke & 2 sweet potatos

Comments (15)The first one I planted I got in a pot from the herb section of the nursery. Knowing nothing about them, I shoved it into the herb garden which is heavy clay soil; not well tilled, and not fertilised apart from a layer of compost. There were two plants in the pot. It is now well over 5 feet tall with 5 artichokes at today's count. When I asked about them in the forum last year the concensus was that they would need a lot of space so I got seeds and planned a place for them. I decided not to move the first one at that stage. I got about 20 to grow in small pots - forgot to do anything with them for a while but they got to 4 leaf stage with neglect so I shoved them in just before we went on holiday in April. No idea if this is the right time, but they seem OK and are growing nicely. Again the soil is pretty impoverished because of the concrete at the base of the fence where I'm growing them. They are now about a foot tall and growing rapidly. They seem to need plenty water which we've had this winter. I have no real knowledge of them but 5 on the original plant is a pretty good haul. I suspect you might be treating them too well. I understand they are useful for reducing cholesterol. Cheers Linda...See Morestuffradio
