    What zone and hemisphere are you in? I’m guessing Northern and somewhere it gets cold(er)? We’re zone 6a and I left our first year globe artichokes in the ground more or less as is. They’re not brown, but they don’t look that happy after a few hard frosts. I’m surprised to see what looks like new growth on yours combined with the brown.

      In northern hemisphere on the west coast. It doesn’t get too cold here.

      I bet the browning of the leaves is just underwatering. I got lazy with watering and travel.

      Either way I am hoping for Artichoke seeds for next year. They are actually quite a nice privacy plant, and apparently they are annuals.
