Artichoke Plants (Green Globe) 2007

http://artichoke.notlong.com/ April 2007. Artichoke Plants ( Green Globe) started 8 March 2007 under lights and on a heating mat.
This is my first year with this plant. The seeds were placed in a fibre pot surrounded with soil and put in a plastic pot. The fibre pot inside keeps the roots contained, and facilitates transplanting when the time arrives.
