Asparagus
So here we are almost at the end of April, and my asparagus is still
showing just one weedy shoot. It did this last year, but I assumed that was because it was the first season, but I was hoping for a bit more of a show this year, and maybe even enough for a modest side-salad. The ten crowns I planted have a sunny, well-drained bed which has been mulched with compost and manure. The soil contained a lot of very well rotted bonfire ash, and produces some fairly mighty weeds, and the crowns were planted in trenches 'by the book'. What more does it need, or am I just being too impatient? My strawberries planted alongside are big, beefy, and looking enviously at the asparagus bed. I'm starting to think I should just let them invade it! The variety is Gijnlim, if that makes a difference. Victoria -- gardening on a north-facing hill in South-East Cornwall -- |
