Purple Globe Artichokes
One of my globe artichokes is producing small purple heads instead of
the usual. Also one of the normal plants suddenly collapsed and foliage now wilting. Any ideas, comments on these two events? -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale, landscape photos, London & the Thames path "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" Spain, food and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" (see web for email) |

Purple _can_ indicate water stress (although there are artichoke varieties that are naturally purple). cheers, Marj * * * Marj Tiefert: http://www.mindspring.com/~mtiefert/ Marj's Mini Mall: http://stores.tiefert.com/ Coleridge shop: http://www.cafeshops.com/coleridgestore Marjorie's Morning Star: http://newsletter.tiefert.com/ science editing services: http://science.tiefert.com/ |

Purple _can_ indicate water stress (although there are artichoke varieties that are naturally purple). Ah, the allotment is dry, I see patterns emerging here. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale, landscape photos, London & the Thames path "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" Spain, food and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" (see web for email) |
