First asparagus tip showing today! Unfortunately, it appears to have been nibbled  :mad: - not sure if it's rats or slugs, no apparent slime so guess it's the latter Grrrr!

Slow start to season due to the cold and damp soil I think ?
Had a couple of spears but nothing like normal by now.
Keep digging

 One was a couple of inches tall before I sliced it with the hoe :(, tasted good though. Hoping the warmer weather this week should have it producing strongly by weeks end. You’d hope so anyway in the first week of May.

Went to the allotment today to do some digging and while I wasn’t looking, my dog started helping himself to the asparagus tips >: :mad:. He also managed to ingest a fair bit of mud trying to eat the rest of the spear which he then threw up on the carpet when he got home :ohmy:

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
