I usually try to plant one or two artichokes every year in my vegetable garden. Some years they are harder to find or sell out faster so I was lucky to find some this year and I knew exactly where I wanted in the garden and I knew it would perfect. It started out slow but finally took off mid summer. It is a beautiful plant but there are no flowers. I keep looking down into the center of it and there is nothing. It is my understanding that they need to go through so many hours below a certain temperature to produce a flower. I would assume the grower would do this before they went to the garden centers, but maybe I am wrong. My luck it will try and flower in October.
