Need some advice please as a novice asparagus grower.
In a prepared raised bed I planted 5 crowns of gjinlim and 5 Pacific purple. Different suppliers and the gjinlim were in much better condition. Several of the Pacific purple crowns had grown spears in their packaging which were weak and died after planting. All the gjinlim have now grown spears* but none of the Pacific purple. Planted in early March. Is there hope?
*Second question. A squirrel has broken off the spear from one of my crowns. Is there hope for this or is it now dead?
Many Thanks!
