I live in Morelia, only one hour away although about a thousand feet lower in elevation. YES, you can grow artichokes in our climate. I started some from seed about 15 years ago and they produced for several years. The plants are beautiful and fit well in a decorative garden, although they only produce a few heads each year here -- perhaps a bit more in your colder climate. My worst problem was aphids on the heads. I am also growing different kinds of tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, snow peas, basil, and a mega-spicy Oaxacan chile pepper called "solterito" here. Blackberries produce beautifully in both our climates, although Pátzcuaro might be too cold for my over-productive guavas and sweet oranges. However, I struggle to produce apples and pears, which are very productive up higher. Where on the earth do you get collard, brussel sprout, horseradish and rhubarb seeds/plants down here?

Mine have started pushing up artichoks. Plan to plant more too, just for their beauty. I am also trying horseradish, and have a hearty crop of redtop turnips, chard, spinach, and green peas. Brussels sprouts are thriving. We are having an unusually wet January and into February, and the winter veggies love it. Broccoli, cabage and cauliflower are still producing, and I am planting more. We are working a plot in the field, building soil, and hope to have it ready for serious Fall planting in September. Churchill Yes, I am growing artichokes. Mine have started pushing up artichoks.
