Having survived the hot summer when they go dormant my globe artichokes are
re-growing now the weather is cooling. And guess what.... I am going to have autumn flowers as well as the usual spring ones. I could get used to two crops a year. Hallelujah brothers and sisters! Hallelujah! David |

You live in a fridge, mine have been flowering for months. Also have Chinese Artichokes established - but have not yet tried them, no idea what they taste like. I don't know them. David |

The pics I've seen, they look like little white grubs :) The plant itself is growing/spreading like crazy right now... I'm starting to wonder if I chose a suitable spot or not to plant it - in amongst what are mostly herbs. If it keeps growing at this rate, it's going to take over. My JAs are very close to flowering now. In typical unpredictable fashion, February here was pretty cool and we even had frost. March has been much warmer... quite a few days close to 30°, so a lot of things are still powering on. Even my tomatoes, most of which lost all foliage in the first frost are still alive, with the fruit ripening nicely. Oh but it *will* get cold here, no doubt about that... typical mid-winter temp minimum is around -6°. -- The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who haven't got it - George Bernard Shaw |
