Re: Growing Artichoke
I tried growing them from old seeds. None germinated. So i bought some small seedlings and some new seeds. Out of 8 new seeds planted, only 1 germinated. Imperial star. Any info on germinating the seeds.

Re: Growing Artichoke
I do mine in Jiffy Pellets on a heating pad. I didn't pay much attention before, but I have 8 of them going right now, so I can report accurately this time. It's been 7 days. No sprouts, yet, but I didn't expect anything yet. I'll post my progress, here.yolos wrote:I tried growing them from old seeds. None germinated. So i bought some small seedlings and some new seeds.

This pic is of the 4 from my last planting. These were planted from seed on 11/1/19. I planted 8 seeds and got these 4.
Re: Growing Artichoke
CN,
How deep are those artichoke boxes? Did you fill them with Mel's Mix?
I have a survivor in a pot in the garage that will need a larger home this year, plus a couple of seedlings I started several weeks ago.

Re: Growing Artichoke
4 sprouts this morning. The seeds are for 2020, Purple of Romagna, from Baker Creek, but already gone from their catalog. These are used Jiffy Pellets, btw.countrynaturals wrote:I do mine in Jiffy Pellets on a heating pad.

Re: Growing Artichoke
The boxes are 2x2 with the bottoms removed. MM is too spendy for me, so I use Mel's "humanitarian" mix, which means I use whatever I have. In this case it's chicken coop compost, which is a combination of chicken poop, seeds, hay, and kitchen scraps; rabbit poop and bedding; leaves; and a small amount of potting mix, just around the individual plants.donnainzone5 wrote:CN,

Re: Growing Artichoke
Sanderson,
The one I overwintered in the garage is alive and kicking. I'm considering moving it into a larger pot and adding some more MM. Still, I have to be mindful that I can move that pot in the fall.

I think that's great for a first year! I guess I would wonder if having it in a pot all the time will slow it's growth, since they like to spread out.
Here's mine, starting over again like a phoenix rising from the ashes:

2022 Artichoke patch
We had lots of rain in December and January. The feral artichoke seem to be liking it:
