The artichoke bush is getting a bit big and probably a bit old so I decided to have a go at splitting it.
Youtube, 'the Google' and numerous books I own, all advised the same thing - take a sharp spade and drive down through the roots of a side shoot. Looked easy but I was a bit worried that I only managed to get some small roots after 'driving down'. Maybe I'm just not aggressive enough.
Anyway, planted the 3 'cuttings' and hoped for the best. . . and they seem to have taken!
Not sure I particularly like artichokes but the plants are nice and Ive got plenty of room.
