Artichoke Companion Planting

9 years ago

I am going to attempt to grow artichokes again in Northern VA as shown in the photo. The artichokes do not fill the entire raised garden space untill the summer, so I was going to plant something on each side of the artichoke row. Any suggestions on what to plant?

I planted beets between two rows of artichokes this year. The beets did well, the artichokes did nothing. At least I got something harvestable from the bed.

Last year my artichokes did nothing either, but I realized that my mistake was not to veralize them. I am told that artichokes need to experience 190-210 hours of temperatures below 50 degrees in order to induce blooming. Next year I intend to ensure that theat is done.
