Globe artichoke advice please

« on: September 09, 2011, 19:51 »

I planted some Globe Artichoke plants at the end of June, they've taken OK, as you can see:

I've read that in the first year I should remove the flower buds, but I haven't had any, nor any stalks. Is all OK with them, please?

They look just fine

They will die back, and then you should get some buds next year.

As they are still very young plants, don't expect masses though. That will come, never fear

Thank you. I knew I'd have to wait for a year or two, was just worried something was wrong. Also planted some asparagus crowns - good job I'm a patient person!
Thanks again.
