I planted a new asparagus bed last summer and it is now producing spears, I don't intend to cut any this year and let the crop develop and settle in, however other critters have different ideas
Weeding today I found a lot of slugs and slug damage so I'm off to get a few cans of cheap beer for traps.
I also found an ant colony, which apart from the stinging I got should not be a problem directly to the crop, I hope.
There were also a large amount of leather jacket grubs, I destroyed what I found, are these a danger to my asparagus by munching on it also?
The most puzzling thing is I have never had a leather jacket problem in this part of my garden before.
