Pros and cons

According to our gardening experts

  • High ornamental value
  • Perennial plant
  • Relatively expensive to buy fresh
  • Vegetable that's hard to find in supermarkets
  • May not survive cold winters
  • Your soil needs to be free-draining to prevent root rot
  • Artichoke needs to be consumed within a few days after harvesting

Start your artichoke seeds early, preferrably in February or March to enjoy your first harvest in autumn. Plants will start to produce a larger harvest in their second year.
To prepare your home grown artichoke you cut the stem off and remove the outer leaves. Then, cut the artichoke in half and scoop out the fuzzy fibers in the center.
