Hi Carolyn, I'm curious what happens when you try to grow Globe Artichokes? How do they fail? Is it too humid for them?

They grew great in Zone 10b. I put 2 in a 2"x3' planner with own bottom. The first year was rough for the plants I thought they were not going to make it. The second year they did OK (5-7) artichokes between both plants. The third year one of the plants did not come back ( they dry up between seasons) but the other plant is doing great. Over 15 globes from 1 plant.

Dear Sirs, I live in Gladstone and now for 2 years I was not able to buy fresh artichokes as Wollworth and Coles do not cater for them. I am Italian and I LOOOOOOVE artichokes which in Sydney I used to buy at all Italian greengrocers, but here is just a dream which is not coming true!!! Is it possible to have some artichokes here in this town?? I will buy a lot as I can also preserve them quite well...but I need them fresh!!! Is anybody answering me?? Cheers. Claudia De Maria

It will probably die down in the frost, but if you leave one head to go to seed and save some, you can start new plants in the Spring.

I have some globe artichoke seeds and have found mixed information about when to sow seeds in Brisbane, Australia (approx US 9b). Can anyone in similar zones share experience?
