Artichokes too hard leaves when mature should water and feed
The artichokes show hard outside leaves and don’t reach normal size. Provide deep root watering every 10 to 14 days and fertilize every two weeks. Mix in several shovels of redwood soil conditioner or processed sludge around plants. Pick artichokes as soon as the petals begin to open to avoid toughening.
