  • Globe Artichoke question

    In spring I started off some Green Globe Artichokes, planted them out and they've done well. However, I need to move them and I can't decide on the best way to do it. Ideas so far:

    1. Transplant them to their new spot in November., when they've died back (I'm in Bristol and we rarely get a frost before late November)
    2. Transplant them to their new spot in March.
    3. Dig them up in November, put them in a large container, leave them in the greenhouse over winter and plant out when they start to grow.

    I have no experience with artichokes so any advice is welcome.

    I'd go for 1 or 3 - I think that by March they will already have started growing, so will suffer more transplant shock.

      I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
