Hi all!  I have finally overwintered and grown artichokes on the East
Coast in zone 6b!!!!  It has taken many years of try and try again, but
I have finally done it.

Now I have 2 questions:

1) There seem to be quite a few flea beetles--what can one spray on
artichokes??

2) What is a good fertilizer for artichokes?

Because artichokes are not grown in this area, our cooperative service
has no information on their care/maintenance etc.  I will look at some
of the CA sites later today if I can, but was wondering if anyone else
grew them and knew their horticultural requirements.
