Asparagus, btw, is very hardy so shouldn't need bringing in in winter unless it is very cold where you are - it can survive a few inches of frozen soil. But in a container it will be more prone to frost than in the ground.

Many, many thanks! I'll leave it in the container and keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks for the advice about the weather as well. Last year was my first year trying to grow things and so I think I got a bit over cautious about a number of things. If this little guy is still alive, I'll probably look at planting him outside at some point.
Again, many thanks! : )
