3. I had my first artichoke today and it was very good. I want to eat it every day but the preparation is too much compared to the amount you get to eat.
4. Thank you for the info. they look so delicious, I love the butter/lemon reduction. I'll be growing artichokes for the first time next year and haven't been able to find any companion plants that would be beneficial to grow alongside them. Do you have any recommendations on what to/not to plant next to artichokes?
5. In California it is normal to leave the petals on, have the artichokes with a dip and make a leisurely meal with them. Sometimes I will stuff the artichokes and that's fun but I never cut off any but the lowest petals. Artichokes, clam chowder and sour dough bread is Monterey heaven.
   
   
6. New Sub here. Great video and I look forward to more. Can I ask one thing? I have grown 2 small lemon trees from seed and they seem to have stopped doing anything? Not much new growth etc. I live in the UK. Could it be lack of heat? Thanks in advance :)
7. I have never grown artichokes or cooked them. You have inspired me. On my things to do list for next season. Thanks.
8. I do not know what happened but for some reason I was unsubscribed from you. Argghhh! Anyways...this video is excellent! I have two artichokes growing that I started from seed this year and they are not very big. Do you think I should keep them inside over Winter until its Spring again or plant them out now? I am in the Southeast USA so we do get some cold weather, some snow not as heavy as northern areas.I do have heavy soil here. Love this thanks!
9. Gosh Mark - that looks delicious!!  I think I could make a meal out of artichokes!  When I have them - they are mostly from a can or jar.  The fresh ones in the market seem to be expensive.  It is wonderful that you can get them from your garden!  I could be mistaken - but I heard they were good for diabetes & cholesterol. 
10. Thanks for that Mark.. Have never really considered growing them here but after seeing your success I might give them a crack.. Bianca is a big fan of them..
    Cheers mate..
11. Wow! That's very interesting, Mark! I just learned something that I have wondered about for a long time! I had no idea how you prepared an artichoke, much less ever eaten one! Thanks for sharing, my friend! By the way, I'm still jealous of those doggone lemon, and lime trees ; )
12. Beautiful artichokes, Mark! And great tips on how to prepare them.
13. Have you ever thrown a bay leaf in with them when they cook? Fantastic flavor added to them this way. Great video demonstration you did here! I've never seen them prepared like you do it. I just clean them, snip off the pokey parts, and boil them whole with a bay leaf until they're done. I like to eat mine plain or with a tiny bit of mayonnaise on them. They are so great cold for breakfast, too!! Thanks for your video!
14. Beautifully executed Mark! We can't grow them as a perenial here either, but when we get the cottage fixed up, I'll try to put them in dormancy in the cellar!
15. That is one pretty plant and flowers....love it!
16. First time I've seen them cooked with the choke in !! Make sense though ! I've only ever eaten them a few times ! 
17. Great! I know what will be on my garden menu next year! I really enjoy artichokes in pasta. :)
18. I did enjoy that mate.  You clearly love your chokes and it shows in the video.  Great stuff.  
19. Great vid Mark. Made me decide I gonna grow one next spring :o)
    Cheers
20. Great video mate. Nicely narrated. Can't wait for my chokes to get bigger.
