Seeds are sown in pots in a frame in April, the seedlings are planted out of doors in early summer (June) in deep rich ground. In September the stems must be blanched by first wrapping haybands (or ~~cupboard~~ collars etc) around them and then earthing up with soil; the produce will be ready in nine to ten weks after earthing up.	+	Cardoon is a perennial, closely related to globe artichoke.
