Asparagus: lots of initial effort to really clean the bed, a little waiting... but then years of easy reward. You'll be feasting during the hungry gap, its expensive in the shops and it tastes so much better freshly picked. Top tip: Apply salt (approx 30 grams per sq metre) in early March. It kills the weeds and slugs but not the sparrow's grass.
