I am talking about the peninsula region of the S.F. Bay Area.
My father is a consummate gardener, and he owes his continuing good health in large part I think to the many wonderful things that have always been happy to grow in his garden.
In recent years, my mother has developed Alzheimer’s, and my dad finds himself spending a great deal of time caring for her. So one of my brothers and I plan to show up in September and do a bunch of garden work.
I’m pretty sure that the artichoke bushes haven’t been divided in years. I found this great site detailing how to do so, but it says that this should be done in winter.
If I do it in early fall, will it kill the bushes?
