You can eat the leaves in moderation too. Remember they won't make tubers until late November though.<br /><br />Fuzzlewoof, I wish I could buy asparagus here but the French are obsessed with the horrible white blanched stuff and don't seem to sell the sort of lovely green shoots we enjoy in the UK.Catofstripeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08626451503696948747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783188.post-56737691545535846532009-04-28T16:40:00.000+02:002009-04-28T16:40:00.000+02:00I've not had much luck with asparagus either, think i've given up on it, it's cheaper and easiler to buy it! though i doubt the taste is in the same league.Fuzzlewoofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783188.post-56682345809934876952009-04-27T22:03:00.000+02:002009-04-27T22:03:00.000+02:00i hope the rain stops soon for you. we had it here too - it poured and poured and overflowed our newly plumbed in rainwater butt (i got the plumbing a bit wrong so i need to fix it). the tubers you sent me have sprouted and are getting going. do i earth them up like spuds?joker the lurcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17260629209872897792noreply@blogger.com
