Are you 'breaking the rules' by growing fruit or vegetables in your flower beds?
"Omelet" wrote in message news  mpomelet- Globe artichokes, great geometric folliage for the ornamental garden. David I've never been able to get artichokes to stay alive. :-( Not even potted 2 year old plants from the nursery... What conditions do you give them? I live in South Central Texas near Austin. -- -- Peace! Om The climate here is warm temperate but can be very hot in summer (100F or more is fairly common) and cool in winter (around freezing) but it never snows or freezes. Artichokes quite like the cooler months here but go backwards when it is very hot. They also dislike it when it is very dry and I have to water carefully then. The soil is heavy and fertile. The flowers are also rather attactive but if you leave them go that long I would have to come and scold you for inattention and carelessness. David |
