This is my new experiment.... a long term experiment as globe artichokes can take up to 2 years to produce fruit. They are perennial and need minimal care. Word around town is that homegrown and marinated artichokes are far better than anything purchased.
So... what is the deal? Peter Cundall

POTASH! is the key.... lots of potash can result in fuit within a year........ yah!!!! Me get me some potash. This stuff is also good for poppies. If their stems are too weak and flop over, it is a sign they need potash.
