Haha, very good - but you didn't have to admit it!

I should warn you that when the asparagus shoots (not the roots which are white
& "sturdy") come up they are almost impossible to see - about as thick as a hair
and quite dark in colour. At least that's how my latest ones look - just one
very flimsy inch-high thing I can barely make out against the background of the
soil. Have to hold something light behind to see them.

Don't know anything about artichokes.
