Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
We planted three asparagus plants last year and this spring we added three more. They all came from the Secret Garden in Billnas which is a very small but rather cute garden shop selling mostly garden accessories and clothes (which are way too nice to get dirty) and a few plants. I read that asparagus plants need to be left to establish themselves for a few years. But I think mine are looking good and hopefully next spring we will be able to start eating them. Once the ferns have died back, I will cut them off just above the ground and mulch the bed over for the winter. In early spring I will add a small amount of lime.
