any asparagus experts out there?
Hi - I purchased an asparagus crowns in the middle of April and planted
it out. The garden nursery said it was a two year old asparagus and should crop this year, albeit lightly. I know its only been one month, but it looks a bit spindly to me. I've put some pics online he http://www.thesullies.com/garden/asparagus.htm. Could any expert take a look at tell me if the nursery was being optimistic with its predictions of a crop. Also, I just took the plant from its container and plonked it in the ground with a bit of compost. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to separate the spears - for the sake of not stressing the roots, I opted not to. I'm now thinking that one plant (or crown?) will only feed me one meal next year, which is a poor return - so perhaps I better go and get a few more crowns. Or can I expect new spears to emerge from the ground next year, and if so should I allow them to grow or nip them off ? Many thanks in advance... Rgds, Kevin. PS - I am in Hove, East Sussex. PPS - I am a novice gardiner - which may be clear by now. But this usenet group is great! |
