Mike SE Isle of Wight South facing garden Any day now I would suspect ... rather thin and weedy mine were the first year but after 5 years they are now just poking through ... no longer the skinny things they were. Asparagus requires patience .... and I sometimes think they take up a lot of area for a short growing/eating season. I reflect on what more productive use could be made of the ground they occupy. But they taste superb!!. -- Gopher .... I know my place! |

Mike SE Isle of Wight South facing garden My previous reply doesn't seem to have made it to the newsgroup - probably because I mentioned the name of the asparagus variety and it got the internet newsgroup filters all steamed up!!! Anyway, mine have been breaking the surface for just over a week now. It's their third year so I'm eyeing them up for the kitchen now. -- David in Normandy.
