Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Artichokes need rich soil with good tilth and drainage. Add compost months before you plant the seeds, balanced fertilizer just before planting, and nitrogen fertilizer throughout the growing season. Water thoroughly once a week, wetting entire root system.
Planting & Growing: Sow indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Transplant 6-8 week old plants, time the transplanting so plants get 10 days of 50°F nighttime temps, for vernalization to promote budding. Protect from frost. Direct sow: if winter low is above 14°F plant seeds in fall in moist soil and harvest in spring.
Harvesting & Storage: Cut artichokes when the heads are still tight and are 3-5" in diameter, leaving 2" of stem. Side heads will not be as large and can be harvested when they are 2-3" in diameter. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks.

Working great
I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.

I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
