I did successfully raise some Artichokes one year. I think there's a thread on here from years ago somewhere with pictures. Here is one picture of some that matured. Boy were they good. I haven't tried them since, but I will have to do it again. You have to put the plants through a chill period (not frost) to get them to bloom, as they are not really annuals. I started mine in Feb. inside, and then they needed, I think around 200 days of chill. I just set them outside when it was cool, and took them inside during the night when it would freeze. It was fun to do. If I do it again, I think I will start them earlier.
