Ive planted some asparagus seeds supplied by our very own D.D.
every one came up, perfect minatures now about three inches high.
Now the hard bit, waiting till they are mature enough to get my lunch :wink:

Thanks for the PM sawnee, always nice to have an update of the stuff that's gone out!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Is it too late to sow seed now?
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

That hopefully will be OK Shaun.

I admit that I, however, had to panic & plant them in the autumn, when I noticed that the roots had grown through the bottom of the pot & taken hold in the tarmac driveway! Just keep an eye on this!

Shaun, I'd plant them out this fall as the roots will be strong and big enough to easily survive before they take over your tarmac as well.  :wink:

OH says I have a warped sense of humour, cant see why :shock:
