| I have one artichoke plant that became heavily infested with aphids and then ants. We were on vacation and were shocked upon returning to see the limp state of the plant. I was advised to cut back plant, and give it a chance to grow again. I'm not certain that this was the right thing to do, but it looked so sickly and weak that I thought it might help. So now there is a big stump/stalk in the bed and I am not certain if I have killed it or if it will come back. Any advice? |

| Mine do this every year when it starts to get too warm. I spray with water to wash all the aphids off, then spray with a mixture of neem/peppermint castille soap and water. I do this every 5-7 days and if it needs a water spray in-between, go ahead. |
