Easter is here, but it's still too early to plant my artichoke. I tried to grow artichokes last summer in Connecticut, but had no success. Four plants survived, but none formed buds. This year, I've chosen the Imperial Star variety again since it produces during its first season. We'll see how it goes; hopefully Corvallis is kinder to artichokes.
This year we only have space for a few plants on our deck (our apartment is on the third floor) so a lot is depending on the success of this artichoke! If all goes well, there will be artichokes with truffle butter later in the year, with much rejoicing.
