I grow them every year in my garden. Yummy.
I'm in Ohio, so the winters are too much for them - and I grow them as annuals. Further south, they can be grown as perennials.
Beautiful plant. They look like giant thisles...and if you let some of them flower - they are very showy, and instensely purpleish-red.

They are grown commercially, with great success, in the central coast of California; you can see huge fields of them in the coastal valleys from Pescadero, just north of Santa Cruz, to Watsonville and Castroville, just north of Monterey. However, they will grow in any so-called "Mediterranean" climate, meaning warm dry summers and moderate winters.
