    Another reason to cut long stems is that the stem is delicious! Peel and steam and they taste just like the hearts.

      @@PixiePrincessBrat Yes. It's a pain to peel them, and sometimes the stems are pretty thin after peeling, but my family loves the stems, as well as the buds.

    The ones you see growing along the roadside are wild artichokes, cynara cardunculus, while the ones in the garden are globe artichokes, cynara scolymus. I only point this out because the wild variety is extremely thorny. Darn near easier to handle cactus than to harvest that species. Smaller flower, but great flavor.

      Yes, great point! Don't just go foraging any ol' plant as tempting as that is

    My chokes are full of earwigs! Even after I shake and rinse thoroughly they turn up in the pot I boil in!

      You can use traps in the beds when the earwigs get out of balance. I use a product called a slug saloon

    So it's a cold weather crop?

      It's can be either actually! If you're in zones 9 or 10, I recommend starting them in the fall so you can harvest in the spring. You can also direct sow them in the spring, though, and most zones would plant after the frost.

      So when Costco sells them in the spring, I should expect to harvest them … next year?

      ​@@lh3130if they're plant starts then they likely were started last year and you might get luvky

    I was so upset a month ago when gopher destroyed two of my three artichokes (2-year old) by eating the roots.
