Globe artichoke
VegetableA big, silver-leaved perennial that crops for about four years and suits Adelaide's Mediterranean climate well. Plant suckers or named plants in late autumn to winter, and pick the buds in spring. Its spiny wild relative is a declared weed in SA, so cut buds before they flower and go to seed.Snake bean
VegetableA fast climbing bean with very long, thin pods. It loves heat and humidity, so it thrives in the tropics and subtropics and through hot summers in the south. Sow once the soil is properly warm and give it a tall trellis. Pick pods young and often.
