Hi All!
Yes, I've been lurking on this list as of late and every night I go home
and browse through the ever increasing stack of seed catalogues,
wondering what I am going to order for this upcoming gardening season. I
am thinking about trying artichokes, which I love, but I was wondering
if anyone had any experience growing these beautiful plants in a climate
similar to mine? I live in Western New York, USDA zone 5, where our
winter temperature rarely dips below -10 degrees F. Our last freeze
date is May 20 and generally our first freeze date is around Oct.10th. I
know I will have to treat them like annuals and start the chokes indoors
in February. Has anyone on this list grown artichokes?
Thanks!
StaceyV
