First asparagus peeping above soil level this morning. A warm day or so to asparagus eat.

I deeply love asparagus but my cats jump and roll all over the bed and break the spears so I have to abandon it. Good luck to you and - so envious!

[Lardman]

just spotted the first spear here breaking the surface too - it's already been munched by something

I have just moved plots. My asparagus on my 'old' plot is 3 this year.....alas I will not see it grow, nor savour its delicate flavour. I am however awaiting delivery of 30 new crowns so the 3 year wait will begin again

I chucked a couple of inches of spent compost over mine a week or so ago - the spears are obviously there of course but I'm not going to demean myself by poking around looking for them!

Thought I spotted a shoot, but it turned out to be a rogue broad bean.

Look what I found...

I'm getting asparagus envy!!
Not seen a sign yet of any in my bed ( Hope my vigorous anti couche grass activities haven't hurt any spears)

😱😱😱😱😱

 I had one spear yesterday. Four today.

Deep joy just seen the top of spear emerging on my plot all this warm weather must be waking up the plants.

Three spears poking through, very tempted to cut.

Well, I went and picked and ate them today. All 8. The first eaten ever from this bed since I planted it 2 years ago. And very nice they were too. I have 40 plants, 10 each of 4 different varieties. Only one variety has shown itself so far this year.

[Chaz1985]

My first solitary purple spear was poking out of the surface this morning, let's hope I get more than that from 30 crowns. 10 of 3 varieties...

Spears coming up here too. Will be ready for first seasons's harvest in a couple of days time

The little beauties are coming .
