I must say that either asparagus is easy to grow or I am more
green-fingered (or fortunate) than I thought. I have also been
delighted to discover that none of predators hereabouts, including Mr
Rabbit,

nothing has touched mine, although i have heard reports that foxes will
chew them.

I have to fence mine to protect them from the chickens, who have
sophisticated palates.
