Asparagus season started?

British grown asparagus will be on my dinner plate within 2 weeks!

My Asparagus bed is now 3 years old and bearing fruition, I have spears appearing at this early stage.

So maybe less than 2 weeks?

 

Great isn't it? I have some spears that are emerging, the tallest at the moment is about an inch tall Have just spoken with somebody who is clearing out their late mother's house, he was looking at our asparagus bed down front of the garden and commented on it - remembered that there's a large bed at his mothers - he's offered to transplant it to ours Have to find out how to go about that........probably way the wrong time of year to do it though :(

 

If it's an old bed it will be a pick and shovel job and wrong time of year. Asparagus roots are MASSIVE once established.

 

Thanks Dave - figured definitely the wrong time of year - don't know how long they will still have the house for and if it could be relocated at a later date. :(
