Globe Artichoke Cultural Information

Start seed indoors during February to early March. Use cell trays to sprout the seed in, transplanting to 4" pots soon after emergence. Keep the plants well fertilized and the soil moist to encourage the rapid growth that is necessary if you are to mature a crop in the north.

Harvesting Globe Artichokes

Pick artichokes while still tender. Sizes seen at the supermarkets are the biggest you should let the heads get.
