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

And eat them fresh - not in oil ...

They like a rich, deep, well-drained soil and must have full light
in the UK. I had some, but they were infested by a root parasite,
and never thrived.
