artichoke update
 

If any one remembers, or cares, I attempted to divide my robust artichoke
plant in December.
I had numerous off-sets, but none had any roots attached. So I dipped the
ends in rooting hormone and "planted" them. I feared my rootless plants
were goners.

Now, 5 months later 90% are growing well, and I suspect I'll harvest a
'choke or two from each one. I think if I were to divide again I would do
it earlier, like right when the new growth starts in September or October.

The other artichoke I didn't divide is much larger and I suspect I'll
harvest sooner, and possibly more.
