Transplant Shock


Even though the transplanted Violetto artichoke plants seem to be thriving, it may have been too much stress on the plants. No signs of artichokes on any of the transplants, even the parent plant is barren, so far. It seems too late in the season for them to start now, so I'm germinating more seeds and plan on taking good care of them in hopes of getting artichokes next year. Weeding and mulching need to be done and a rich compost top dressing should help with nutrients. Too bad, I'll miss seeing the artichokes that are pictured below.
