[Arid_gardener] artichokes

[Linda Drew]

book: "Earth Friendly Desert Gardening", page 51
(written by Mster Gardeners in Maricopa County --
great book!)

"Artichokes are perennial plants. During summer the plant
will die back to the ground but will reappear with cooler
temperatures as long as the soil doesn't dry out."
