Globe Artichokes
 

This message has been posted by: Aengus Stewart


I have an allotment in London

We harvested the artichokes a while ago now, but I vaguely remember somethings about cutting them to nearly ground level to get a second crop.

Is this advisable in SE England.

Also this is the 3rd year for the plants - should I take side shoots and ditch the old plants?

I ask this as while 2-3 of the plants have done quite well the other 3-4 are looking straggly.


Cheers

ps Any body got tips on growing Bulb Fennel?
