Asparagus
I put a posting up a short while ago, 'When should our Asparagus start to
show?' Lots of nice replies thank you. But they never did show :-( The crowns have now been inspected. Rotten to the core, and now 'composting' Thanks for the replies. Do we try again? Don't know. But why dead? Very severe weather whilst we were away in January/February? Mike -- .................................................. .............. |

Very severe weather whilst we were away in January/February? Mike Only 3 or 4 of mine are showing yet but close inspection indicates that the others are not far behind. I am no expert so I'd appreciate any advice on when they normally come up. Last couple of years a few spears came up - then there was a lull and then loads appeared. Sadly last year's late frost wiped out the earliest (spears along with the plum blossom). I have a couple of dozen crowns of two types Guelph Millennium and Pacific Purple. Fingers are crossed for a decent crop as they were delicious last year .... but I seem to recall things were earlier then. -- Gopher .... I know my place! |
