hi-1st posting. I'm growing artichokes in Victoria, BC, and the 1st bud is always fine. After that, some of the buds get a brown shriveling on the top,and the leaves develop a yellow band along the edges with brown spots later developing in the yellow band. I can't find any pictures of either viral or bacterial or fungal diseases that could be causing this. I am also wondering about a possible calcium deficiency? Thanks!!!

Perhaps water shortage or erratic supply?

- What method do you use to water?
- How do you determine when to water?
- How do you determine you've applied enough?
- How wet, dry or moist does the soil before you water again?

This is from California but may provide some insights

I'm using overhead watering, and the soil stays pretty moist. It is mulched with the leaves, I water twice a week.the powdery mildew pictures on your link look like my leaves, but the gray mold describes the buds being affected.so I will try this year pulling back all the leaves, for the summer,and watering really early in the morning, less frequently.thanks.

I would love to see some diagnosis that accounts for the buds and the leaves at the same time,but will certainly try any idea.
