| After you harvest the first flush of fruits.
Are you supposed to; A) Cut off the Main Stalk at the base of the plant in order to encourage another Main Stalk to grow? B) Just leave it alone? Should I fertilize the plants again? |

| I'm not 100% sure of the answer for you, but I have a question I'd like to add to yours if I could. I thought I read that you cut them all the way back to the ground, but it also seemed like that was in fall. Last year mine did their thing in June and I thought I read that if you cut the stalk early(well before flowering), you could force them to grow more and get a better harvest in fall, but now I can't find where I might have read that. So is my memory correct? How do you handle it if they seem to want to flower in mid summer? |

| Either I have terrible BO or out of the hundreds of thousands of people who frequent this site. Not a single one knows how to grow artichokes. I guess its time for me to go take a shower now. Anyway. This is what they look like know. How many bees do you see?
