Does anyone know anything about growing artichokes?

I grew up in Santa Cruz county, all the best artichokes grow between watsonville and Monterey, so lots of summer fog must have a major impact on healty growth or perhaps a shaded growing area with an auto mister set for early mornings.

Michael Pollan's Twelve Commandments for Serious Eaters: Can You Live By Them?

I think we can all shape our individual living footprint into the maximum food producing space. 1) If you own a lawn get rid of it, even the smallest yard plotted correctly and planted with the season will more than sustain a family of 4. 2) Living in Alaska taught me that a good grow light can produce a plentiful supply of tomatoes, lettuce and herbs. The cost of operation is approximate US$22 per month for 2 lights.
3) Grass fed beef is great, but better yet when in New Zealand eat the grass fed venison and your in food heaven.
4) Even if your in NY city you can shop at farmers market of small produce shops where the travel from farm to retails is at a minimum.
Cheers
