Hope you're enjoying your crop!<BR/><BR/>...Susansusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017788096350527796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-34624854295824680752008-06-29T13:07:00.000+02:002008-06-29T13:07:00.000+02:00I've been Googling artichokes - I can grow them in...I've been Googling artichokes - I can grow them in VA. You are so right about the space - from what I've been reading they grow three to four feet! I'm excited, I love artichokes! Hope they'll winter over, like yours did.....Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539147275000703476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-89054795229577729102008-06-29T09:04:00.000+02:002008-06-29T09:04:00.000+02:00quinn, good luck!
