I have asparagus in a raised bed and another line in bare earth. The bare earth waterlogs on occasion so I'm suprised it's survived. Next year will be year three ... yippee picky Year! However I've just realised that two of my plants have berries indicating they are female. RHS states these should be removed. I'm really reluctant as its not an enormous bed and I paid quite lot for one of the plants as a ready grown infill when I lost 3 others.
I understand from RHS the female can cause the other plants to perform poorly.
.......Hmm this is starting to take on an unfortunate personal tone...ha ha sorry chaps.
What do other asparagus growers think? Do you leave or remove. Also has anyone here grown asparagus from their own female berries? I'm intrigued. As I think we all get excited about anything we can grow from our own seeds.
Is it just bad luck we are sold female stock if it's not viable to keep them??
