Ive sorted the crop out and i'm sure it's a sliverskin soft neck and not a Artichoke as there's no purple colours showing up in it. The lady who grew these bulbils are 'off griders' so water is not as so freely applied like it is my garden, i couldnt see that this line will ever produce a scape here, so i plan to drop some off soon and they'll try again. Will growing from a second generation have a better chance of producing scapes? Bit of fun to play around with and who knows where this could lead.


Below glasses- received bulbils Feb 2017 sowed straight away, from then till winter the bulbils that sprouted where lifted and transferred to another bed
6 - 8 months of growth.

Left of glasses - What sprouted in Spring 4 1/2 months growth.

Above glasses - All the rounds
