HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Stratify green globe artichoke seeds by putting them in damp sand in the fridge for 2 weeks. Then germinate Cynara Scolymus seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before last frost. Plant them 1/4" deep, in 4" pots, and keep the seedlings at a temperature of 60-70 degrees. Once they grow several leaves, expose them to temperatures lower than 50 degrees F for at 12-20 days; this process, called vernalization, acts as a false "winter" that enhances the growing process. Transplant the seedlings outside two weeks after the last spring frost. Space them 48" apart in rows 64" apart. Direct sowing the green globe artichoke seeds outside after the last frost is also an option, though it takes the plants longer to mature. Artichokes can also be fall planted, especially in warmer climates, since artichokes thrive in cool weather.
Growing: Take care to keep the young plants moist at all times and surrounded with mulch, compost, or straw. If fungus begins to form because of too much humidity, cut back on the water, and remove the affected leaves at once. Buds should begin to form about 120 days after transplanting, depending upon the climate. To overwinter this plant in warmer climates such as zone 7 and above, cover it thickly with mulch. Prevent excess moisture, as this often causes artichokes to die over winter. In zone 6 and colder, it will be necessary to dig up the plants by the roots, cut the stem to 3", and store them with the roots protected in a cool place until spring. Replant them after the last frost.
Harvesting: If planted soon enough in the spring in warmer climates, artichokes might produce a small crop before fall. Harvest them before the petals of the choke begin to open, and the size reaches about 4". Cut the heads with about 3" of the stem attached. Use immediately for the freshest flavor, or keep refrigerated for up to five days.
Seed Saving: To save the seed, allow the chokes to fully develop and form flowers. Either collect seed heads when flowers turn brown, or allow seed heads to dry on plants. When heads are dry, break them open and collect the Cynara Scolymus seeds. Clean and dry the green globe artichoke seeds before storage in a cool dry conditions.

I ordered these seeds before and they did great. My problem was that I transplanted them when they were too small and a critter messed with them. My seeds are now in the refrigerator and I have high hopes on getting some nice plants. Lessons learned? Thanks for getting these seeds to me so quickly during these strange times.
Seeds arrived in good order & in Sand in Fridge
The seeds arrived quickly and the packing is great. Following the directions and they are in the fridge in sand. Hoping this leads to wonderful plants.
Artichoke Green Globe
I bought couple of years ago 1/4 lb of Green Globe artichoke from Everwilde farms. I planted the seeds during the early spring, the time when the land was prepared and the propagation was very high. The area zone is 9a, and during mid June, I placed the seedling in the ground. The plants became the talk of the area for their fabulous growth. They reached about 4 feet wide in just 10 weeks, and started yielding superb tasteful chokes during February. Fabulous seed variety. Big thanks
