@Weedwhacker it was all the challenge for me. I took a ton of photos, shared my success, wrote my article, took my video, took more photos and the only artichoke I ate went on a pizza. The other artichokes were given away.
I am determined though to use my artichokes for my own cooking this year. I planted the seeds today.
I hope you do try!
I did Imperial last year, this year I planted Green Globe.
