My asparagus came up strong in April, nearly all the crowns I planted last year sent up one or two nice healthy spears... but that was it! Since then it had sent up nothing, and the spears had turned into ferns and flopped over onto the bed.
However, as they looked sorry for themselves and were lying all over the paths around the bed and generally getting in the way, a couple of weeks ago I decided to stake them. Since doing this, they've started sending up more spears - is this a coincidence, or does the growth come in 'waves'?
