Hi I am very new to vegetable growing and want to try companion planting for my vegetables. However, I don't know what an acceptable distance is for companion planting. I do not have a large plot for me veg, any advice please?

Hi Mike. I just planted an artichoke seedling. Found it at Bunnings. I read it will take about a year to bear fruit. Fingers crossed.

Might need some looking after in this heat. Good luck!

I had an artichoke plant last year which produced a few fruit. The plant disappeared at the end of the season. Will it sprout out of the ground again this year? I hope so.

It sounds like it died. Did you have frosts in winter. Read the notes here and maybe a bit of research on the net. I would plant another couple subject to your weather conditions.

Thanks Mike. No frosts were I live in Sydney. But I think you are right and it died. ☹️

On Zone 13b it has no planting date - so probably won't grow. In tropics in Australia it says plant April to July. You could try.

Anyone grown Artichokes in Hawaii? I'm on the North Shore so its pretty rainy periodically, but temps are in the 70s-80s. Basically its the windward side of the island on Maui. My wife loves them so i'd like to try I already bought two plants any suggestions would be great!! thanks!
