asparagus

Hi All,

Has any one come across companies selling asparagus crowns in small quantities? I can only find 12's and although I would love that amount I just don't have space.

Thanks, Mandy

Most Garden centre do packs of 4 One year old crowns. I grew mine from seed as my bed wasnt ready.

Here's a link Mandy to a company who sell them in 5's but they're £10. Seems expensive.

homebase had small packs (maybe 3/4 crowns) yesterday for about £3 I think.

Lots of packs of 3 in Wilkinsons, In Store and Poundstretcher recently, think they were about £3 a pack, hope this is of help!

I picked up a packet of two for less than £3 yesterday in Woolies.

Hi All,

Thanks for your help, I will try homebase and woolies at the weekend. No Wilko's up here unfortunatly. Although I am at head office next week, I suppose I could try when I am down.

Thanks again, Mandy

I had the same problem but ended up ordering 12 for £14.99 I think. They won't come until April I think they said, do you want to have half as I don't think I will have enough room to do them justice? Its a green variety, I can't remember the exact type but I can check when I get home if you are interested

Hi Amanda,

If you are sure you won't use them all that would be great, PM your address and I will send a check for them.

I would love to have more space to grow lots more of everything.

Don't worry about money, perhaps we can swap something at some point, I've tried finding the invoice but couldn't but I remember them being delivered around April so I'll PM you closer to the time to arrange delivery. I'm just glad the excess will be going to a good home!

Hi Amanda,

Thanks again, let me know nearer the time and I will send post and packing at least. Let me know if you need anything and I will gladly send if I have it.

Mandy
