Starting artichokes from seed in February is perfect timing! 6-8 weeks before the last frost they are started indoors (70-80 degrees in bright light or sunshine window).... labelled, 1/4" seed depth. Great fun to do and these great producers (from the thistle family) crop for 2-3 years providing they are properly protected during their dormant winter hibernation period with a goodly layer of straw/compost mulch. They spring to life in April and you're picking artichokes in high summer. ..... Cable Bay Farm, Galiano Island (www.facebook.com/Galianocaptainsquarters)
