I live in the Mojave desert in California (I don't know what zone it is). My
question is, since the area I live in freezes in the winter, can I grow
artichokes here? Will they make it through the winter or will they die on
me?

Mine handled winter frosts. They do die back but regenerate each year
I've found. Then after a while it is suggested they get replaced.
