dividing artichokes

19 years ago

For the last two summers, we have had a spring and late summer crop of tasty artichokes! My neighbour grew them from seed and now they are massive plants, with numerous offsets appearing around the base. Does anyone know when the best time to divide them is? Attempt #1 last spring was unsuccessful; the woody root mass is very difficult to cut into and the babies are very easily damaged. Any tips?
