Description
Artichoke Green Globe with it’s large, tasty heads of green buds have made it one of the most popular varieties of Artichoke on the market. Globe artichokes are perennial plants and will produce more heads with each successive year.
They have an excellent flavour with thick, succulent scales. A great delicacy, steam or boil and serve with melted lemon butter or hollandaise sauce.
They are a popular dual-purpose plant, grown not only for food but often as borders in ornamental gardens. Harvest the buds when they are young and tender.
Cultivation:
- Keep the plants well watered until established. Apply a mulch around the stems in December.
- During the summer months hoe regularly and apply a liquid fertiliser at fortnightly intervals.
- Water thoroughly when the weather is dry.
- In late autumn cut down the stems and cover the crowns with leaves or straw in cooler regions
- Remove this protective covering in October
Harvesting:
Artichokes come in different sizes: baby, medium, and jumbo. All three sizes grow on the same plant. The jumbo grows on the centre stalk, the medium grow on the sides, and the babies at the base. They are not merely immature globes. The globes are harvested before the blossoms open to ensure the best flavour.
The size of a mature artichoke is dependent upon its placement on the plant. Those at the top can be enormous while those at the base, shaded by dense leaves, may grow no larger than a ping-pong ball.
As soon as the petals begin to open, they are overripe, no matter the size. After harvesting the main head, secondary heads will appear and these too can be used. Expected yield per mature plant: 10 to 12 heads. Productive life: 4 years
