Chinese Artichokes Missing in Action

[ysb33r]

I planted CAs earlier this year - some in the ground and some in a pot. Only those in the pot ever came up. I had a dig around in the soil a while ago, and there was nothing.

Maybe some grub had them for breakfast. Or they might not like clay soil. I gave some to a neighbour on the allotment, and only one of hers came up as well.

Any ideas?

Slugs have been a real menace this year. So much so that I had to put pellets out in despair - something I try to avoid generally.
