To say I am impressed with myself is an understatement. I all sorts of braggy! I mean, no one else in my
this isn't a competition but you know it totally is a competition community garden is growing them. In fact, everyone says they didn't believe they could be grown this far north. AND...I grew them from seed! It's an accomplishment. A small one. I mean, I get it. But still...it's not the sort of thing you see growing every day!

I don't know of anyone who grows them here, so congrats to you! What will you do with them when you harvest them?
Good for you, bragging rights deserved in my opinion!
I tried to grow artichokes in my FL Zone 10 garden and all I got was leaves. They are rather lovely, silvery gray and huge - I decided that going forward to use them as an accent plant in the garden but the local garden center (Home Depot) didn't stock them again or were out of stock.
