New Asparagus
When I was gathering my herbs in the backyard, I saw a couple of asparagus appearing already. I planted the asparagus from the seeds about six years ago. It has not been established since I don't know why. Last year I harvested about two dozen, I would say not too bad, but it could have been better. Hopefully this year they will do better, so far I only have one crown, It survived, but it is not spreading.

I may have to do more reading to learn how to look after the asparagus plants. I know that they do like a lot of water and fertile soil. The soil may need special treatments, it needs more compost and fertilisers perhaps.
I was thinking to get new asparagus plants; the white/cream and also purple, however, it is too late now, I should get them last winter. I know that I have to concentrate on managing, that I already have and hoping for a successful harvest this year.
Spring is here, happy gardening to you all.
Until next time
Susy.
