Hi, Jo Ellen!

(Jo Ellen asked about experience growing artichokes)

Haven't grown them, however, they grow them at Four Season Farm (Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch) in Maine which I saw (incredible operation!) with my own eyes on my way to Quebec last summer. By clicking into their website and following on some links, you may be able to glean some info. At the least, one of their books might yield the info you want/need. After all, if they can grow them where they are, you can certainly do as well in your climate. They had an entire field of them! 

Website is http://www.fourseasonfarm.com/<http://www.fourseasonfarm.com/>. If you can ever get there, do try. Their methods are very instructive -- we can all learn a great deal from them. 

Best,

Lorraine
