Hi,

I'm planning my veggie plot for next year and I want to grow artichokes,
similar to the ones you get in olive oil from the supermarket. Sainsburys
do some Italian Artichoke antipasto in olive oil.

Are these Jerusalem or Globe artichokes? I'm not sure which ones to buy
from the seed catalogues.

Globe artichokes would be the ones for that job. If you obtain some seed
now and begin them very soon, you could have useable artichokes by this
time next year. Give the plants plenty of room - they grow very large!

And eat them fresh - not in oil ...
