HOW to PLANT and GROW ARTICHOKES, plus TIPS for growing artichokes in HOT CLIMATES

[@deepwaters2334]

Diatomaceous earth works wonders against bugs. When you wash it off, it stays in the soil and keeps the bugs out of the soil too.

Angela, your garden is breathtaking and I LOVE the trellises behind you. Adding artichokes this fall! Thanks from Cave Creek!

Thanks Angela! You always give the best advice. I don’t know why I look anywhere else for low desert growing advice.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thanks! That’s kind of you to say.

[@FrozenDippedMushrooms]

I love the video Angela. Good way to get rid of all bugs n stuff off the plants is to trim nettle, put it in a bucket or a barrel soaked in water for 24-48 hours, and then fill the spray bottle and cover the plans. If rains, repeat the process. Happy days :)

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thanks for the tip!

[@user-ru8xq7tq9o]

Yes it really works this thing and it's the best fertilizer. In Greece ,we leave lots of nettle in the barrel of rain water for up to 2 weeks until it becomes very very stinky first and then we use it .1 cup of this tea to 2 litters of rain water . The plants just loving it and the bugs simply hates it! Glory be to God! Thank you JESUS CHRIST!

Many thanks for that great information! Living in the Southern Hemisphere (South Africa) our growing times are different to yours but l do know that well cared for plants will reward one generously. Artichokes are so versatile and absolutely scummy to prepare and eat and only just having bought my seedlings, l have a lot to look forward to. I am planting them in well composted veggie boxes to ensure that l prevent the moisture from been drawn away to drier areas of ground. Many thanks for your great information. 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you, for this info packed video. Having spent a portion of the morning watching vids on artichokes, yours has been the most informative. I'm growing Green Globe artichokes for the first time. They were started from seed on March 8th and are under grow lights as we're in zone 4 in Minnesota. The seed leaves are large and the true leaves are just beginning to emerge and open. It is 48 degrees, hoping we get into the 50's today. Maybe I'll set them outside for a bit, but not too long.

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

@@jalilaelqorchi Not very well. 2 died and one recently came back from the dead with new growth. I’m crossing my fingers that the other 2 also pop back up out of the ground 🤞🤞

[@joujimiichi1]

From Los Angeles: sowed 12 seeds, 5 germinated but 2 had to be thinned. 2 have been planted out but the 3rd is progressing extremely slowly so it’s still indoors in my seedling area under lights. The 2 outside are just starting to establish. Based on all the research and other videos I’ve seen, the statement about artichokes not being picky about soil type is false. Artichokes will have a lower rate of bud production if the soil is too alkaline. Artichokes prefer a slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Additionally, they are a plant native to the Mediterranean region. That being said, they are slightly drought tolerant as the plant has adapted to that climate by sending its roots much deeper than most other garden vegetables. Good luck to everyone growing!

Angela, you are now my go to garden guru. So happy I found you a week ago. I live in Zone 8a, but summers here are like zone 9 - hot and dry. Because of you, I’m attempting my first artichoke plant. I have several trees that suck the life out of my soil. My garden competes fiercely for nutrients and water. Knowing that, is it worth growing artichokes in an extra large container, about 20 gallon size?

As a vegan... artichokes are one of my staple veggies. I've found the best way to cook them is in an instant pot. Hi pressue for 18-25 mins (depending on the size of the artichoke) with slow release of pressure. We like to dip them in melted plant butter. Enjoy!
