Grow Your Own Magazine

Hi All
Wanted to share this bit of information. Just got my copy of grow in the post (yes I subscribed and love getting it early!!!!) and noticed that if you book your tickets for the Harrogate Flower Show before Tuesday the 5th September you get £2.00 off per ticket (go to www.flowershow.org.uk) ........Love going to these shows!!!!
Also I saw the offer in the mag for asparagus can anyone tell me if this is easy to grow as I am a lover of asparagus but keep thinking they may be to hard for me to grow.

I can beat that Lizzy, I get free entry every year

Asparagus is reasonably easy but it needs a couple of years to establish & bulk up before you get a crop of it. It also needs loads of either compost or Muck in the winter & like to be kept moist in the spring (the muck & compost will help) but not waterlogged.

It's a short cropping season as well (around a month ish) so I'd get a couple of crowns & maybe some different varieties to try & extend the season.
