Congrats! Take care of those babies, Tom. I hope your weather has been perfect for them. I remember Johnny's suggests planting out at 6-8 weeks...will that put you at your last frost?
"Shoe...how do you fertilize your artichokes, and when do you start feeding them regularly?"
I'm sorry, Moms/Linda...I think I read that post then wandered off that day. What I did was add good stuff to the planting hole (a home-made soil mix, mushroom compost, and a handful of tomato food) and then just watered them as needed. This year I think I'll do something similar, based on what supplies are on hand, and water with fish emulsion, something I tend to use quite often here.
I have noticed this...the few that made it from last year are up and growing and are of good size! I'll have to take pics and add to the data base. I'll lightly top dress those this week or give them some fish emulsion. There is still a chance of frost here (or freeze) so will play it by ear.
