Artichokes are actually flower buds and need to be treated like flowers. "They should be kept cold and misted so they don't dehydrate".

Sounds just like me during an Arizona summer! LOL

Maybe!

The temps are dropping here, the flag pole is bending to the wind, and ranks of gray clouds are climbing the battlements of the mountains to the west. There’s definitely a change coming!
