Artichokes can be grown in borders, raised beds, large containers or on the allotment. Artichokes can grow to 1.5m x 1m and will make big clumps of arching, jagged silvery leaves.

They make good structural plants as well as having edible flowers. Plant in good quality well drained soil, water plants well until established and make sure they don't dry out in hot weather.

Cut back stems in late autumn and protect the remaining crown over winter with a thick mulch of straw or other material. In early spring cover the crown will well-rotted manure to help boost growth.

In the first year your artichoke plants need to put all their energy into making growth, so remove any flowerheads as they form.

In the second year, allow the edible heads to develop for harvesting in summer. Harvest the top bud first, when it's large and swollen, but before the scales have started to open. Pick the side buds when they have reached a decent size.
