Accidentally dug up artichokes planted in Nov. and found them
honeycombed by these insects - approx half an inch, long many legs and

How to get rid of and have more artichokes to plant so any helpful
advice gratefully accepted.

Unless they are damaging the plants; don't (get rid of them); it is
pointless.
In fact, centipedes (they are not insects) are predatory and are more
likely to eat pests than be pestilent (unless they are something
else).

However, I've never seen a pink centipede. Millipede, yes.

Millipedes are vegetarians.

Hmmm. Artichokes. If you have very good hearing, listen to one, very
carefully - if it passes wind...
