GROWING ARTICHOKES


My family loves to eat roasted or steamed artichokes so I want to try and grow them in my yard.  I did some research and read that they are ok for our zone of 9a.  The packet says to start the seeds indoors in my area March - May and move outside after our last frost.  I missed the date a bit and I started them on 22 June 2022 but that's not too far off so I'm not worried.  I can't wait to see how these do!

I started all of the seeds in one cup.  Moistened the soil and placed in a plastic bag for a greenhouse effect.  Once the plants get a couple inches tall I'll separate them into their own small containers.  I do this mainly to save room while starting plants.
