The Pond Plant Girl is going bananas over artichoke plants. New garden friend, Stevie, invited Gail to help her plant her new artichoke garden near Sacramento, California. Also watch for Gail on Good Day Sacramento. Good stuff!
Up in Folsom we grow artichokes on our acre garden. Each spring i litterally mow them down with a lawn mower, and again after seasons end. We get 10 to 20 per plant on average, 4to 6 " heads. The most one plant did this year was 27 heads. It feels wrong tocut them down like that, but wow you will be suprised at how fast they will grow after their roots wake up from hibernation.

#LOL seems like you two had fun planting artichokes!
The bananas are for potassium?
Hope you do an update in a few weeks so we can how they're doing ;)
