One more garden success this year was finally getting artichokes started. We had four successfully take and grow pretty large. As a perennial, I’m hopeful we will see flowers (what you think of when you buy an artichoke at the store) next year! #gardening #artichokes

@cessie how long did yours take to start producing? Did you see much in year 2? I’m really excited I finally got them to take this year (mulch was the difference for me)

@johnathayde In the first year the plant was still small and there was just one tiny artichoke. In year 2 it grow bigger and we had more and bigger artichokes as well. It seems to get more and more mature in the years :)

@johnathayde in my experience artichokes take 2 years to produce decent size heads for picking. Not so easy to grow in UK

@MargeDacre thanks! Well at least they’re started now :)
