Love artichokes, but only ever eaten them steamed, with mayo for dipping. My husband likes melted butter for his. They support liver function, so we tend to eat a lot of them. We prefer nice big ones like this:

I've also grown them for 20 years here. Some year get a lot (last year) some nearly none (year before).
Mine are fairly small before they flower, I don't know if it's the type or maybe I need some kind of fertiliser they might be lacking?

Mine never get larger than 1/2 the size of the one in the post. As the season goes on, they get smaller, I think because it's so late in the year by the time they emerge. We are not their preferred growing area. That is California.
Oh right well that makes complete sense because we have very similar climate to California. Except god damnit we can't grow avocados xx
