where is my asparagus

It is year 3 and my asparagus haven’t appeared yet

How long do I wait after the coldest spring for a while? It is Guelph which is a late variety but as nothing has shown yet I am afraid that the cold spring has been devastating to my plants.

Has anyone else got the same problem?

Sorry if this has already been dealt with; i have been away and have not been able to keep up with what has been written.

Even late varieties should have shown up by now. I'd have a gentle furtle where you think the plants might be and see if there's anything left. Crowns have a very bad habit of getting waterlogged and dying off during winter.

At least 4 of my crowns (2 years old, grown from seed) haven't shown.

Another only appeared about a week ago and has very pathetic growth but at least it's still alive.

Having said that most of my Guelph is growing well, it's the Purple Pacific that's struggling/dead.

I planted ten crowns last year and only six have come through

I also planted twelve raspberries last year and none have growths on. It was my first year with an allotment last year which wasn't the best year to start!

My asparagus has been late this year and has been coming up fine the last week.
