Asparagus question

My asparagus bed looks empty now and has since the start of winter when I cut the old stems back. I expect the first tips to show soonish.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

Seems early to me too - although Essex probably a bit earlier than here and quite possibly lighter land too. I suggest sit & wait a bit
Not sure about seed sown and planted in year 1 - might be fine, but when I grew mine from seed I kept them in pots until Spring of Year 2 and then planted them similarly to crowns - roots splayed out Spider-like, and on a bed of sand etc. That said, I have no knowledge as to whether that is important and I'm on very heavy clay here.K's Garden blog the story of the creation of our garden

Thanks for your replies guys
There's another tip showing now.
I'm going to grow some more this year and will keep some in pots as Kristen has done, referencing my post http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ml#post1328869
I'm thinking that the ones in pots could do better as they will be in a kinder environment for the first year.
What sized pots did you put them in Kristen?
... and Alison should I cut back the stems?Last edited by Jonny.D; 21-03-2015, 02:33 PM.
