Grow Artichokes

This week, we will learn how to grow artichokes, a misunderstood vegetable. It is tasty and you will love it once you try it.

You can find our artichokes seeds here.

I've been busy planting flowers and herbs all over the place.

Grow Artichokes - 4/6-4/12/2026

Grow artichokes like the Imperial Star.

If you have ever looked at an artichoke and thought, “What am I supposed to do with that green ball?” you are not alone. A lot of gardeners skip this crop because it looks strange and seems hard to use. But once you learn the basics, you may decide to grow artichokes in your backyard garden every year.

I love telling people about artichokes because they feel like a secret from an old kitchen garden. They look bold, taste rich, and make dinner feel special. Best of all, you can grow them at home in many parts of the United States if you give them the right start.

This guide walks you through the whole process of how to grow artichokes in seven simple parts. You will learn how to plant, grow, care for, harvest, take apart, and cook artichokes. You will also learn how to eat artichokes without feeling confused or wasting the good part.

Let’s start with the big question. Is it worth the trouble? Yes, for many gardeners it is. Artichokes are beautiful plants, they give you a tasty harvest, and they become a great conversation piece in the yard. Once you know how to open them up, they stop feeling like a hassle.

Artichokes are grown for their flower buds. You pick the bud before it opens into a big purple thistle-like bloom. The part most people eat is the tender base of the leaves and the meaty heart inside.

In warm parts of the country, artichokes can live for more than one year and produce again. In colder areas, many gardeners grow them like annuals and still get a crop. Either way, they can earn a place in your backyard garden if you plan ahead.

Grow Artichokes - Plan Before You Plant

Artichokes need a sunny spot, rich soil, and room to spread. They are not tiny plants, so think of them as a bold garden feature as well as a food crop.

Give artichokes full sun if you can. In very hot areas, a little afternoon shade can help keep plants from getting stressed. They grow best where they get at least 6 to 8 hours of sun each day.

Soil matters a lot with this plant. Artichokes like soil that drains well but still holds some moisture. Mix in compost before planting so the ground is loose, rich, and ready to feed big roots.

If your soil is heavy clay, improve it before you plant. Raised beds can help if drainage is poor. Wet, soggy ground can lead to weak growth and root problems, so this step is worth your time.

Think about your climate too. Artichokes prefer mild weather. They do best where summers are not too harsh and winters are not too severe, but gardeners in colder states can still grow them by starting early and choosing a good planting schedule.

I have found that artichokes do best when you treat them like an important crop, not an afterthought stuck in a corner. If you give them rich soil, steady water, and enough space, they reward you with a plant that looks almost tropical and produces impressive buds.

Grow Artichokes - Planting

Grow artichokes like this purple artichoke called the Romagna.

You can start artichokes from seed, buy young plants, or plant root divisions if you have access to an older patch. For most home gardeners, buying healthy starts is the easiest path.

If you start from seed, begin indoors well before your last spring frost. Seed-grown artichokes take time, so an early start helps. Use clean seed-starting mix, keep the soil lightly moist, and place seedlings in bright light.

Harden off indoor-grown seedlings before planting outside. That means letting them spend a little time outdoors each day for about a week so they adjust to wind, sun, and cooler air. This simple step can prevent transplant shock.

Plant artichokes after the danger of hard frost has passed in your area, unless you are in a mild climate with a different local schedule. Space plants about 3 to 4 feet apart because they grow wide. Rows should also allow enough room for air flow and easy picking.

Set each transplant at the same depth it was growing in its pot. Water well after planting to settle the soil around the roots. Then add mulch around the base to help hold moisture and reduce weeds.

If you want to grow artichokes in your backyard garden and make it easy on yourself, start with two or three plants. That gives you enough to learn from without taking over your whole space. Once you see how striking they look, you may want more next season.

Grow Artichokes - Care Of Plants

Grow artichokes like the Purple Italian Globe artichoke growing in the garden.

Artichokes need steady moisture while they size up. They do not like to dry out for long stretches, especially when buds are forming.

Water deeply rather than giving little sprinkles every day. Deep watering encourages strong roots. The top of the soil can dry a bit between waterings, but the root zone should not stay bone dry.

Feed plants with compost or a balanced garden fertilizer if your soil is not very rich. Big leafy plants need nutrients to support all that growth. Avoid going overboard, but do keep them well fed through the main growing season.

Keep weeds down so they do not steal water and nutrients. A layer of mulch helps with this and also keeps the soil cooler in hot weather. Clean beds make a huge difference with heavy-feeding crops like artichokes.

In windy spots, larger plants may need support. Their stems can become tall and heavy once buds form. A stake or simple plant support can keep them upright and cleaner.

Patience is part of the process. Artichokes are not as fast as radishes or lettuce. But they are exciting to watch because one day you see a bold silver-green plant, and before long a thick stem rises with a bud that looks like a prize.

Grow Artichokes - Watch Carefully

Keep an eye on leaves, stems, and buds so you catch problems early. Healthy artichokes usually have strong, broad leaves and a sturdy shape.

Watch for common garden pests such as aphids and slugs. Aphids can cluster on tender growth, and slugs may chew leaves. A strong spray of water can help with aphids, and hand-picking or traps can help with slugs.

Good spacing and air flow help prevent disease problems. Water the soil more than the leaves when possible. Wet foliage and crowded plants can invite trouble in many vegetable gardens.

If you live where summers get very hot, mulch and regular watering become even more important. Heat stress can slow growth and reduce bud quality. In tough climates, your best harvest may come in cooler parts of the growing season.

In mild-winter areas, established plants may produce for more than one year. Gardeners often cut the plant back after harvest and protect the crown if needed. In colder regions, hard freezes can kill plants, so many people simply replant each year.

I remember the first time I grew artichokes and worried I was doing everything wrong because the plant took up so much room. Then the first fat bud appeared, and suddenly it all made sense. The plant looked like something from a fancy estate garden, but it was sitting right there next to my tomatoes.

Grow Artichokes - Harvesting

Grow artichokes like the Green Globe, one of the most popular artichokes that we sell.

You want to harvest artichokes while the buds are still tight and firm. If the scales start to open wide, the bud is getting old and heading toward flower stage.

The main bud at the top usually matures first and is often the largest. Smaller side buds often follow after you cut the main one. That means one plant can give you more than one chance to harvest.

To harvest, cut the stem with a sharp knife or pruners, leaving a short piece of stem attached to the bud. Handle the buds gently so they stay fresh and attractive. Freshly cut artichokes can be kept cool until you are ready to use them.

If you leave a bud on the plant too long, it will open into a dramatic purple flower. That bloom is beautiful, and pollinators may enjoy it, but it is no longer good for eating in the same way. So if your goal is dinner, pick before it opens.

You do not have to harvest every bud at once. Check plants often and pick each one when it looks full, tight, and solid. This stage gives you the best texture for cooking and eating.

If you are trying to grow artichokes in your backyard garden for both beauty and food, you can even leave one bud to bloom and harvest the rest. That way you get a showy flower and a useful crop from the same planting.

Grow Artichokes - Where Is The Part You Eat?

Grow artichokes such as the Tavor artichoke.

Most people ask first: how do you get the vegetable out of the green ball? The truth is that an artichoke is not opened like a pea pod with one neat prize inside. You eat it in stages, and then you reach the heart.

Start by rinsing the artichoke well. If you want, trim off the stem end and snip any very sharp leaf tips with kitchen scissors. Then cook it until the leaves pull away fairly easily and the base feels tender.

Once it is cooked, pull off one outer leaf at a time. The edible part is the soft flesh at the base of the leaf. You scrape that part off with your teeth as you eat artichokes, then discard the rest of the leaf.

As you work inward, the leaves become more tender. Near the center, you will reach the fuzzy middle called the choke. Under that is the heart, which is the prized part many people love most.

To remove the choke, gently scrape the fuzzy center away with a spoon after cooking. What remains underneath is the heart. The heart is tender, rich, and fully edible once the fuzzy part is removed.

This is the step that scares people, but it is actually simple after you do it once. I still remember showing a friend how to pull the leaves, scrape them with her teeth, and then scoop out the choke. Her first reaction was, “That’s it?” Yes, that is it.

Grow Artichokes - How To Cook

If you have wondered what you can do with artichokes, the answer is plenty. You can steam them, boil them, roast them, grill them, stuff them, marinate the hearts, or add hearts to pasta, salads, and dips.

One of the easiest ways to cook with artichokes is to steam them. Put them in a pot with a little water, cover, and cook until a leaf can be pulled off and the base feels tender. Then serve them warm with melted butter, lemon, or a simple dip.

Boiling also works, though steaming can keep the flavor a bit richer. Roasting gives artichokes a deeper taste and browned edges. If you cut and clean them first, a hot oven with olive oil, salt, and garlic makes them especially good.

Grilled artichokes are another favorite. Many cooks steam or boil them first until partly tender, then cut them and finish them on the grill. This adds smoky flavor and crisp edges.

If you want a simple way to eat artichokes, serve whole cooked buds with dipping sauces. Try melted butter, lemon juice, garlic mayo, or a light vinaigrette. Pull each leaf, scrape off the tender base with your teeth, and keep going until you reach the heart.

Grow Artichokes - More On Eating

Artichoke hearts are great in many everyday meals. Slice them into pasta, toss them into green salads, add them to grain bowls, or layer them on pizza. They pair well with lemon, garlic, olive oil, butter, herbs, chicken, seafood, and cheese.

You can also chop cooked artichoke hearts into spreads and dips. They are good in creamy dips, simple herb dressings, and warm baked dishes. If you enjoy bold but not overpowering flavors, artichokes fit right in.

Stuffed artichokes can turn this vegetable into a full event. Some people spread the leaves a bit and add breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, and herbs before baking. It looks impressive, tastes wonderful, and makes the artichoke feel far less mysterious.

If you harvest more than you can use at once, share them with friends or plan a meal around them. Artichokes are one of those vegetables that make people pause and ask questions. That is part of the fun of growing something uncommon.

For eating, remember the basic rule. Eat the tender flesh from the base of the leaves, then remove the choke, then enjoy the heart. Once you know that order, the whole thing becomes easy.

Many gardeners who try artichokes once decide they want them again, not just for food but for beauty. The plants are dramatic, the harvest feels special, and the kitchen payoff is real. They are not the kind of crop you forget.

If you have been unsure whether to grow artichokes in your backyard garden, this is your sign to try. Start small, give them sun and rich soil, and be patient. You may discover a new favorite vegetable and a new favorite garden plant at the same time.

The best part is that artichokes teach you something useful. Not every good food is simple at first glance. Sometimes the foods that seem strange are the ones that become family favorites once you learn how to handle them.

So go ahead and make room for a few artichokes this season. Grow artichokes, care for them, harvest them at the right stage, and bring them to the table with confidence. Once you learn how to grow, clean, and cook them, you may wonder why more American gardeners do not grow and eat artichokes already.

A lovely array of almost everything we have on sale this week...

Good morning. I had to set up this week's sale early this morning and send out a newsletter. Then I made scrambled eggs with fresh green onion from my kitchen windowsill. They were pretty good.

Here is the sale: Save 15% on all gourd, pumpkin, melon, watermelon, strawberry, cantaloupe, marigold, single color zinnia, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme seeds this week through Sunday night at midnight CDT. Just head on over to the website and locate these items. Drop them in your cart and the 15% will automatically come off as you check out.

We got no rain overnight so we stand at 1/8 of an inch. A lot of folks got over two inches. Oh well. Some is better than none.

It stayed fairly cool all day long. The mailman came before noon. Pamela was sick with diarrhea all night long (Sunday night). This evening, she barfed in two places in the den. We have no idea why. The other dogs are fine.

Samantha killed a snake, her first that we know of but who knows?

Good kitty!

Today, David called me out on the business deck. The cat was on the ground below and she just killed a snake. She is a good girl!

Our Firestick that I bought about nine years ago finally died so we could not stream TV yesterday. I ordered a new one yesterday afternoon and it was delivered this morning. We installed it which took a while but now we are streaming again.

Purple morning glories are growing wild in the back.

Good afternoon. It is 2:20pm and it has been a busy day. All of the dogs were fine in the night and, so far, they are doing well. I have been pulling orders for most of the day and I had to sit down.

It stayed fairly cool all day long but I had to be inside pulling and mailing orders. It would have been a good day to plant but I did not get a chance to do that.

This afternoon, Matt discovered that some of our chickens have fleas. Our chickens have never had fleas before. He saw this ugly black stuff on their faces. He Googled it and it is fleas. I ordered spray that will be here tomorrow for chickens. Gross...

How and why do the chickens have fleas?

Why have they not had them before? I am so disgusted.

Every year, we give away thousands of dollars worth of seeds to various organizations, mostly libraries who insist of having seeds to give away to patrons. I don't really understand this.

When I was a kid, I went to the library for books, not for free seeds for food. We bought those at the store for our garden. We were a poor family but we never asked anyone for free things and we did not get welfare.

As I mentioned above, we get hundreds of requests to give our seeds away every year, all over the country. We only do so much each year. See, we are in business to make money, not to see how much we can give away.

So over the weekend, I got a request from a teacher in another state who wants to make a gift bag for every teacher in her school that would include our seeds. But she wants us to give them to her, free of charge, and she wants us to pay a ridiculous amount to send the seeds through the mail. That's right. She is making more money than we are and she didn't even volunteer to pay postage. The nerve!

Did you know that now it costs us over $5 to mail just one pack of seeds? The post office keeps going up on their rates and people are upset with us that we don't offer free shipping. The shipping costs more than our seeds do and yet customers expect us to give that to them for free.

The helpers brought up a lot more pots for planting. David ordered more seed potatoes to plant. Not sure why because I planted a ton of them two weeks ago out front. The only problem is that none of the pots have dirt in them yet.

This is white sage, the kind used for ceremonial cleansings, not the kind you put on a turkey.

Good morning. It's already the 8th. How can that be? I pulled a lot of orders right before I went in last night so I have plenty to do.

Here is what I do for most of the day in my office.

Well, we have not had one in-person customer all week long. I guess it is because we are open. If we were closed, like we were this past Saturday, then they would be coming left and right like they did then!

So much junk blew off of the next door neighbor's oak tree during the pond that the pumps keep on stopping after just a little while. We keep cleaning it out but the stuff just keeps coming. We need to screen the pond in but David won't hear of it.

We had no seed counters today and there were several seeds here that I needed for older orders. I had to stop mailing out and count hundreds of seeds to mail out the orders. I had Matt make me so many envelopes and I went to work.

People want jobs but there are always excuses as to why they can't come to work. I have to go to Bible study, I have homework, I have to do my taxes, I have to get new license plates, I need to make cookies, I have to go grocery shopping, (no joke-we have heard all of these excuses in the past six months) and those folks were only working parttime. (Hint: Do the things while you are not at work!)

When our children were small, we moved to Colorado Springs so David could attend Bible college. He worked three jobs plus went to school full time. He never called in to say he had to do homework. He had to support his family because his wife was pregnant and we had a one year old and a four year old to deal with. Oh goodness. David and I were raised with good work ethics. Most younger people today have not been taught that you show up and give it your best to get paid and keep your job. Believe me, we speak from experience.

Our chickens love a good sandbath. Sometimes, we have a hard time getting them to go in for the night because they are enjoying it so much!

After work, David left the farm to run some errands and Matt and I went out back. The chicken spray for fleas came so Matt applied it to all of the chickens, then put down Diatomaceous Earth in the nesting boxes and on the floors of the coop. He also put some more wood shavings in the nesting boxes.

Markie is standing triumphantly on his platform in the back of the goat yard. He is so cute, isn't he?

Meanwhile, I prepared the back of the goat area for Markie. He has five pregnant girls who will start delivering in less than a month. I got all of the girls put away but Markie would not go in there because I was by the door. I closed the door and then Markie ran to the back when I approached him. I closed his door so he is alone but he has contact with the girls through the fencing. This is to protect the coming babies. Male goats are known to kill or harm new babies and I just don't want to take the chance.

Lucy on the left, Ethel in the front, and Markie through the wall...The girls will be safe along with the coming babies. Males get rough around babies.

I was in the orchard after that, looking at the new apples that were coming out on one of our apple trees.

This tree already has mini apples!

A killdeer bird was on the ground, coming toward me making noise. That means she has laid eggs on the ground and does not want me near her eggs. The thing just kept coming...

This little killdeer bird charged at me by the apple tree.

This is African Blue Basil. Isn't it pretty?

Good morning. It might rain today but let's not get our hopes up...

Matt is bringing us coffee this morning so I am excited about that. I am also starving. Yesterday, David sent me a link to a new AI that I have not tried and I made several cartoons of me working. I put one up here yesterday. I think I came out looking pretty good. I will try to put the others up today. They are on my work computer and I am in my home office right now.

I made breakfast tacos and they were good.

Our new bees are supposed to arrive at the post office this morning. We will need to go pick them up.

According to Matt, Markie did just fine overnight and he is not crying or carrying on like Norton used to when I moved him out before the birth of his children.

Well, it is time for me to get ready for the day and get on those orders.

Everyone wants to help...

David and Matt went to the post office and picked up seven sets of bees. That is a lot of bees. A lot of them were dead in the bottom of the containers. Supposedly, the company will reimburse us for that but I have no idea how they will determine how many are dead. The bees sat in the breezeway of our business for hours, attracting lots of other bees. It was a bit scary to walk by to go into my office.

David sprayed them with sugar water that I made for the occasion. That is what the directions said to do to calm them down.

This is a side view of the new bees in the boxes.

David ordered 7 new sets of bees.

David and I then went to a place in Big Foot to pick up another hive that someone at church had. He told David he could have it. He gave us the gate code. We found it and went in. No one came out but the hive was sitting there. Anyway, we loaded up and left but we could not figure out how to get out.

The gate did not open and there was no pad on the inner side of the gate to get out. I finally got out of the truck and stuck my upper body through the gate to see the pad. I punched the numbers and nothing happened. We were trapped.

I went back and tried it again. This time, the gate opened. We jumped in the truck and got out of there. We were then told that they just use a remote from the house to open and close it. Question: Why didn't the wife push the remote to let us out? We were at the gate trying to get out for quite a while...

We had a bunch of customers throughout the day and absolutely no helpers all day long. At 5pm, we headed out back. Matt put on his bee suit and started placing the new bees in hives and giving them sugar water.

Lots of bees were sort of swarming around. David should have had his bee suit on. They landed on him but did not sting him.

Matt was smart and wore his bee suit. It was all sticky when he was finished so I washed it for him.

They were out there with the bees for quite a while.

The chickens still have fleas on them so I did not go in. Later, Matt went in and sprayed them down again.

Meanwhile, I went to see how Markie was doing. I was shocked to see that Markie was just fine because he was in the goatyard with his ladies.

Markie is feeling very good about himself after escaping the back goatyard.

There is a part of the separation fence that is not completely attached to the rest of the fence that I did not know about. Matthew pointed that out to me later. Markie figured it out because Lucy went back and paid him a visit and then came back through. Markie followed. That happened when Matt was out there earlier taking the bees out back. He forgot to tell me.

So now, we have to fix the fence. I give up...

AI's version of me signing books. I look pretty good, right?

Good morning. I have printed out orders and I need to make breakfast and head on out to work.

Back in November of 2021, David had an EKG at Methodist Hospital that cost well over $6000. We paid our portion that day and Christian Healthcare Ministries paid some and the rest was written off. Well, they sold the written off portion to a debt collector and today, David got an email saying it was due. He called me over. I told him what I just told you. He said no, that we owe it. David never really dealt with all of this. I did because health insurance is how I made my living from 1981 until 2016 when I quit to be Mrs. David's Garden Seeds full time.

He called the hospital. The girl told him what I said and that there is a zero balance. I felt vindicated but now that another company bought that debt, they will be hounding us. If something has been written off, it should not have been sold off to be collected by another company.

We had several visitors and customers this morning. I worked on orders. At 1:40pm, it started raining and it is now 2:15pm and it is still raining! Yay!

We need to go in and make more sugar water. These bees are sucking it all up quickly. There are a lot of bees! Matt went to the store this morning and bought 10 of the ten pound bags of sugar plus David made sugar water with the 10 pound bag that I had in the pantry this morning.

The molasses buckets that we planted potatoes in did not have holes drilled in them. One of our helpers was supposed to have done that long ago but we found out it had not happened as they all have standing water. So Matt is out there in the rain drilling holes in them and the water is pouring out. It is unbelievable how many times we have "helpers" do something and pay them for the tasks and yet the tasks are not done.

After a small rain shower, it started to get cloudy again...

We didn't get much rain, about 1/10th of an inch. At 10pm, I got to watch the fireworks from the Strawberry Festival right over our neighbor's house. They were very nice.

Saturday, April 11, 2026

The flowers seem to have come alive after the rain.

It rained a small amount overnight because the kitchen windows have some drops on them and the deck is all wet. We got 1/8 of an inch.

We will be opening at 10am but I doubt we will have customers today because the Poteet Strawberry Festival is going on. We never have customers on the Saturday of the festival so I will be surprised if we do today.

We do have a new helper this morning filling our empty buckets with soil out front so that will be helpful.

Here I am in cartoon form picking purple passion asparagus.

Most of the buckets got moved and filled. The guy got all of my citrus trees out of the greenhouse so that was helpful.

We had a few customers today. At 5pm, we showed up to our church's community barbecue and had a nice time. The weather was perfect--cool and breezy. We took the pit barbecue that David borrowed for the occasion back to Poteet around 8pm. The Strawberry Festival was hopping with activity and lights, lots of people still pouring in that late.

Matt and I are front and center in this photo from the picnic. The food sure was good. The meats were grilled right there in the church yard.

At the picnic, a friend of ours introduced David to a cousin of his. He told David that he gave his cousin some of our seeds that he got from us three years ago. The guy planted them and they are all coming up. We have fresh seed and when you store them in a cool, dry place and you plant them correctly, they come up. For those who say they don't come up, they are doing something wrong...Probably planting them when the ground is too cold. For most seeds, the ground itself needs to be 65° or more for seeds to germinate.

We finally made it home and showered and relaxed for a little while before bedtime.

Sunday, April 12, 2026

Good morning. It rained a little bit in the night. Hopefully, we get more today. I have to go out and feed the animals now.

I went out and it was dry. We got a few 10ths of an inch of rain. I have a dead white chicken in the coop. I noticed her yesterday just lying out in the yard. She got up and went inside with the others but was very slow so I figured she would be dead soon. That is usually how it works.

The goats are fine and Markie stayed in his area. When I opened up the shelter, none of the girl goats came out. They stayed in where it is dry.

Once I got in, I made some eggs and the rain started again. After about three minutes it stopped. Apparently, it will be doing that throughout the day.

The new bees are active today in all 7 hives.

We went to church. Late this afternoon, after I put the animals away for the night, David decided he wanted chicken gizzards so we drove to Pleasanton for some Bush's chicken.

This afternoon, we made gallons of sugar water for the bees.

It is the last day of the Strawberry Festival. We don't go because there are too many people, too much loud music, and the prices are too expensive. I saw on Facebook that the price to get in the gate per person is $34 and one turkey leg is $20! Parking is an additional $15. One piece of strawberry short cake is $6 and $8 for strawberry cheesecake. A flat of strawberries is $60. I think you have to be rich to go!
