Globe artichokes from your garden will be a real treat. They grow very vigorously and get very large, so give them enough space. Although some gardeners struggle with them, warm climates and coastal conditions provide optimum conditions for flowering within the first year. They’re perennial. Sow once and thereafter split multiple crowns to propagate.

How to Sow
Sow your seeds in winter and protect from frost. Pre-soak them to get them started, and sow where they are to grow. You can sow them in containers, but since they have tap roots, choose a deep container and transplant them soon after germination..
How to Harvest
Use secateurs to cut the buds from your artichokes when they are golf-ball size. They’re still edible when older, but they are tougher and not quite as tasty. Your harvest will get bigger every year for a few years.
