Thank you, I'm excited to have little seedlings started for my 2024 garden. Didn't know how much they would produce more plants as time goes on. Can't wait to fill in spaces and grow an abundance.
I’ve tried growing them here in South Carolina for 3 times. I grew them from seeds all germinated but none made it. I’m going to try something different. I’m not giving up. I want artichokes in my garden. I agree they’re beautiful plants
Artichokes were a struggle to get started in the South Plains of Texas where I am. Thanks to you Dan I finally have three making it through this winter. One entered it's grand majestic stage last year. Such awesome plants!
Ty for your help. We're from Otorohanga, NZ, and I was absolutely stoked that my 6 seeds are now 2yrs old....we're making a food forest and now we know how to divide and transplant our artichokes. Late bloomers to the self-sufficiency lifestyle, but glad for videos like this. Cheers
I have been cooking artichokes since I was 11 using a pressure cooker. I live up north and never tried these. But I am south now. My favorite veggies and I am starting them today inside. Thanks to your video I feel more confident. I can put them in y greenhouse since I want a lot.' I have been following you for some time now. Thank you. I have my Greenhouse heating up in my 5 gal pot. Thanks
Thanks for the info. I just planted an artichoke in my yard last year from seed. She is growing but I didn't get any artichokes off if it. I'm hoping this year! I love how you propagate and have so many plants! We love artichokes so I would love to have the abundance of them like you have in your garden. Nice job.
My first-year Green Globe Artichokes I started from seed last Spring are almost all still alive out back. They were planted in full sun here in coastal North Carolina. It was a hot summer last year. This Winter was mild and they are growing quite a bit during the Winter months actually. The hard freezes around 20F would knock them back a little but they perked right back up. I started more from seed a few weeks ago and plan to spread the ones I already have at some point too. I like them! I may start planting them a few feet away from my fruit trees to suppress the grass/create more production. However, the best thing I have found for that so far is.... grass believe it or not. I use my bagger and dump the grass clippings at the base. Afterwards I come back with a rake and spread it thin around the base. When the clippings mold... they kill the grass and mulch/fertilize too at the same time. Grass fed fruit is a good thing and real!
Lovely! Can oregano be planted at base of any tree/shrub? Can it be planted in walkway where people sometimes walk on? Thank you for the abundance of inspiration! You are an abundance of ideas! Blessings!
Great tip... just looked at my 1.5 year olds and indeed found they have new ones popping up. Moved one... will move the others I can find as well (I think their 3-4 more). Super tip... Did not think about the chop and drop. At what time would you recommend NOT chopping? I assume no chop ‘n drop when the main center is growing ...
I live in zone 5, Northeast Oregon. Bought 2 seedlings from nursery and planted them. Harvested 2 artichokes yesterday, more to come. Wondering if it will come back next year after a snowy winter or if I should dig them up in the fall and pot them in the house?
Great video! I live in Southern California, my area has native clay soil. I just bought a cluster of 3 artichoke plant. Can I grow some in a 1/2 wine barrel and in ground? What can I add to my soil for in ground and can I use cactus soil for the wine barrel? Do I need to fertilize? Thank you for any help and info you can provide.
How old does the plant need to be to start producing artichokes? I planted mine from seed a year and a half ago, they were huge and beautiful all summer but no flowers.
I've bought my seeds from Botanical Interest, and they've done very well. Have you ever had an artichoke harvest? We love to eat them, but we haven't had any flowers yet. Happy Growing
I've always had green globe. But last year I got what I believe were red globe. Dang, they have some nasty thorns on them. I need some long cuff gloves like you have
I get a lot of ants on my artichoke. What to do about this. Thanks for teaching me about when to harvest & I'm going to add another artichoke plant from my first. I'll also let it flower too. Excellent
I bought one Global artichoke plant a few weeks ago and an insect ate the center of my plant. Maybe I got lucky and have 5 little buds coming at the base of the plant. Do I leave them grow until fall and replant. Zone 7 Texas.
Happy to subscribe to your channel now. I just left a comment on your fig cutting video. Do you have any updates on those that you took in December? Any signs of growth yet?
I have had mine in a huge rubber container from the farm feed store that I drilled holes in the bottom. I planted 1 and have dug up the pups and gave away. I didn’t know they had vitamin C or about using the chop and drop method. I was throwing the wilted leaves in yard waste when I cleaned up around the plants. This was a good video that I learned a few things…also going to transplant some around my apple tree.
Also you can start a pup in a 1 or 3 gallon container and transplant when it starts to outgrow the container. I’ve also have used Folgers coffee containers that I put holes in the bottom.
