Thank you Kelly, Fab video & learned so much. I did not know it was so easy. With strange weather in the UK, I may have a sizeable challenge in my hand. Love the way you work with such charisma Best of luck
@@themodelgardener I actually have several out in the mix right now that I planted this past Spring. They probably need better soil but are alive and well even with the 111F heat index and no rain for the last several weeks. I have been watering though. I may put some into the front flower beds in a protected spot. Their foliage looks amazing!
Did you know you can eat the stalk. The stalk tastes like the heart just cook till tender. So cut them with 10" of stem. They are so good, your plants are stunning.
I just got a couple free artichoke plants at Ace Hardware that were in decorative pots that they were throwing away! I didn't even know what they were, but the manager said I could have them. Not knowing what they were, I put them in pots and was thrilled when I got the beautiful purple fuzzy flowers! After about 6 artichokes "bloomed" I wondered if I did the right thing since I had no idea they were even edible! Is it too late for these pretty plants? Now I'm thinking I should put in the ground and just see what happens. I have plenty of space but my yard is sandy and acidic North Carolina Sandhills soil. Any advice from anyone reading this would be greatfully appreciated!
Yes, plant them into the ground. The plants usually live 4 or 5 years. Each year take the suckers and replant them. Then you will have a never ending supply of artichokes.
You would want a 24” or larger container, that is what I saw in another YT video. I don’t have the space in my yard, so I am starting mine in containers. I bought 4 big containers from costco 2months ago and so far they are looking amazing...can’t wait to get a harvest!
I have had aphids on my artichoke plants I have had nonr on my potted artichoke plant ; that I have used ericaceous soil. Artichokes like a soil around 5.5 pH. Just like blueberries Doing some research it seems that aphids are nature's nitrogen pumps they feed off of plants that are too high in nitrogen and not enough in potassium.
Thanks a lot for this, didn't know they were a long term crop, perhaps like asparagus? Had an aphid problem on my Jerusalem artichokes (not related) I used a garlic spray to get of them so the ants left as well. Fry some minced garlic (or dried powdered) in Olive oil and let cool add washing up liquid to make an emulsion and dilute with warm water. Make sure its bits free so as not to block the sprayer.

Hi Kelly, Many thanks for your acknowledgment and wishes. Please do more videos. Best of luck. :)

ooooooo wee! Your artichokes are STUNNING! I just got some from Home Depo. I am in Phoenix in Dec. I hope they do well. Awesome video!
Good luck!
I'd want to cook those stalks. They look like cardoon, which is delicious. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching

I didn’t know that! Good to know!
I have heard of that but never have tried it. Thanks for the tip!
Supernice vid :)
Beautiful flower
Good.THANKS
May give them a try this year. Thank you.
They are very easy to grow where I live in San Diego. Snails do love them. If you have chickens, give the snails to your hens! Good luck!

Chickens love the leaves.
Great video! So excited about planting artichokes next growing season. Could you please clarify how and when to fertilize? Thanks!

Good video. Thanks
Thank you.
Can I grow in Florida zone 8b?
I just got a property with artichokes on it. I guess I am too late harvest because they have flowered. Now what do I do ?
Once the artichoke plants die you can cut it down but don'w pull out the roots. More artichokes will come back in time.
good video. thanks. Can you grow in a big pot?
They really need a lot of space. You probably could but would do much better in the ground.

hello can you eat the long leaves from artichoke plants

My artichoke is in its 2nd year and the main artichoke is still little but is opening what do I do
Leave it. Worry about harvesting next year.
Thank you
