Tips & Advice:
Sowing Indoors
Sow seeds individually in small pots of moist seed compost 1cm deep. Place in the warmth 15-18°C. Grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in direct sunlight.
Hardening Off/Planting Out
Gradually accustom young plants to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions when danger of frost has passed. Plant fairly deeply, leaving about 5cm of soil above the level of the compost in the pots. Choose the site with care as asparagus is a permanent crop, and will remain harvestable for 15 years or more if desired.
Harvest
Using a sharp knife, cut stems just below the soil's surface. Do not harvest initially until the second summer after sowing to allow the plant to develop, and then sparingly for a further year.
