Can you describe the rot? just browning off or fuzzy grey mould etc. My artichokes are well up again now after having disappeared earlier in the winter, so I would have expected auckland to have been well ahead of here.

Hi Isabell. They are going brown and rotting at the lower end of the stalk. i think i may have to transplant them or mulch around the bottom of the plant with straw, hmmmm. we are having heaps of rain in Akl;(

That doesn't sound good,i dont think the mulch will help in fact i recon it will make it worse.
What about cutting off a section and grow in a pot somewhere out of all the wet weather, then wait and see if the main plant dies or not,at least you'll have a plant to replace it if it does
