Just over a year ago I planted a bed of 15 two year old asparagus crowns. To avoid the worst of the Sydney summer sun I placed them in a relatively shaded part of the garden that gets afternoon sun but no full midday sun. They have done well so far with bushy fronds over the spring and a few small spears that I left in to strengthen the crowns in their first year in the garden.
Last weekend, the first spear of the season tentatively poked its tip into the air. Time to mulch, feed and water and in a few weeks time as we move into spring, we should be eating fresh asparagus straight from the garden.
