Sowing
Sow the Artichoke seeds in March-April under glass, or outside in May on a seedbed. The plants are very sensitive to cold, so cultivation under glass is preferable. After emergence, pot each plant separately in a large pot. Let the plants harden off in April (accustom them to the outside air) and plant them out in May at a planting distance of 100x75cm.
Harvesting
In August - September you can regularly harvest the formed, still closed flower buds.
Wintering
In late autumn, cut away the spent flower stems, leave the lower leaves in place and tie them together and leave the whole thing covered with straw and plastic to overwinter.
