[@rosewood513]

Funny when I was living in a cool climate they told me growing artichokes I needed a warm climate. Now that I live in a warm climate you say I need cool. :)

[@DanielEBurnette]

Dude, grandma's a badass

[@blueandmellow]

You're my new favorite!!!

[@dclxvi26]

I love it!

[@ReaperKezia]

Damn Pam you treated that plant like it stole your lunch money

[@shackelf1990]

This is probably the most bad ass old lady I have ever scene. One day i hope to be as cool as her.

[@Football-Pros13]

Great video. Cheers!

[@jpynchon]

Chest002, that raised bed sounds large enough for three plants, barely. Two might be better. Healthy artichokes grow to a good six foot in diameter; if there is room in your garden for overhang, go for three.

[@flythebee]

a cool granny!

[@erich.82]

thanks for posting. answered the question i had.

[@Daniel-qj3tp]

Great one get aggressive that's my type of gardening

[@MrUncensorable]

Awesome thanks

[@nathankopfmann8659]

Is it just me or does she sound like Catherine Hepburn.

[@Epic125e]

I like this lady

[@trumplostlol3007]

I love that Japanese pruner. I have one of my own. But no. You don't need fully composted soil amendment. I can grow my vegetables out of half composted tree leaves. And if add to the surface, I can use freshly cut grass too. No need for composting. This way there will be more nitrogen available. Composting will reduce the amount of nitrogen available because of denitrifying bacteria.

[@markrainford1219]

I didn't know about woody bits in compost actually using nitrogen up. Worth bearing in mind. Thank you.

[@elfmom52]

mark rainford I murdered my garden a couple years ago by putting in a bunch of free mulch from the city. I found out after I did it about it robbing the nitrogen. Everything died BUT the artichokes. I just put in a bunch of mushroom compost and pray the soil is ok now. This is central TX. and am so delighted they grow here!

[@JacquelineHinshaw]

My understanding is that the carbon added from woody pieces binds up the nitrogen in the process of decomposition.

[@mountainhoods]

I hope I'm her someday 🖤

[@pandirisomasundar]

thank you grand maa...

[@LindaCasey]

Thank you

[@annperrin]

I was not sure if the pieces you chopped off from around the edge could be new plants? Or is it just suckers in Spring? I have three plants and not enough to rotate them. Was going to give some suckers to my son to plant in his garden.

[@chest002]

I am plannning a 4 by 12 foot raised bed for artichoke. I will be growing from seed to start. I will start seeds last week in May and will not expect produce until next year. how many plants can I squeeze into the area given? How long will they thrive? Great video by the way. I did not know how to care for mature plant. I cant wait until 2012.

[@nowirehangers2815]

wonder if he ever did this

[@JoeyMrTurbo]

The videos coming!

[@eavening4149]

Now that's a knife! :-D

[@Flowerhen]

Im trying to groe artichokes in maine. Ibougt imperial star, which are suppose to produce the first year. I read that they will ned to be kept under 50 degrees for the first 2 weeks before planting in the garden, or after transplanting. What do you think? Do you suppose it is possible here in Maine to grow them successfully ??

[@janhurlow5142]

Should I remove the lower leaves the flop to the ground. I live in N. Cal,

[@janetmorra8676]
