Where can I find Organic Baby artichoke seeds? Is there such thing as a BABY artichoke plant??

by

I would love to grow Organic Babay artichokes in a greenhouse. Can't find the BABY seeds anywhere, which makes me wonder if there is such a thing.

I'm thinking that baby artichokes are just artichokes harvested early. You wouldn't be buying organic seeds but you would be growing them organically … no insecticides or other artificial stuff. Seeds would be organic unless packaged with fungicides or genetically engineered.







When's the best time to fertilize and transplant a Lillac bush?

by

I live in Vancouver BC, spring starts early here, and I'd like to know when i should add organic fertilizer to the garden bed, as well as other plants.

I also have a very big Lillac bush i want to move, but i don't want to shock it either by moving it when it's not the right time.

Thirdly 😉 I have a pear tree, in its 3rd year, last year it was swarmed by aphids…just way too many, and this year i want to spray it, but not with toxic chemicals. I heard you can spray some wax ? Any ideas?

Any gardening tips would be helpful, i'm only good at digging so far 😉 Many thanks.

After it flowers move it. Fall/Winter

Fertilize it
