I have some artichokes which I grew from seed and are starting to flower. What do I need to do to prepare them for winter and hopefully harvest them next year?

Also I ordered some but they've not grown very well - do you think they would survive if I dug them up and potted them in the greenhouse over winter?

Thank you

Read the RHS advice, cos without your location showing I don't know whether you are in a cold part of the country or not
