First-year asparagus help please
I am growing asparagus for the first time (from 1yr-old crowns) and I'm
thinking that the bed is getting a bit out of hand with some 'spears' over 6ft tall and all 16 crowns producing vigorous shoots growing at all angles! (Do they need staking?) I have resisted the temptation to cut any for the pot but I need to know what to do next, and when. Should I cut them back or just leave them to die back? 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, has shown the slightest interest in my asparagus, so I can add it to my list of veg which can be grown without protection (among them, tomatoes, parsley, parcel, chives and garlic). |
