You get best results by not eating it for the first 2 or 3 years I've been told, so there has been no point in starting any off as we have been moving around so much. However if we do get this new house, an Asparagus bed is the first thing that will be put in.<br /><br />If the entire root system has vanished from yours it sounds as though you have something eating it - not good :-(<br /><br />If I were you I would Google 'growing asparagus' and see what likes to eat it and how best tackle the problem to avoid this happening again.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-26922380893575185432013-05-17T21:22:38.998+01:002013-05-17T21:22:38.998+01:00I save mine up until Christmas too, only trouble i...I save mine up until Christmas too, only trouble is that when they issue each batch (like now) they do the double points trade in, and we cannot benefit until the end of the year!!AlisonB43https://www.blogger.com/profile/08351165562595634549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-39322357487480421342013-05-17T20:47:02.660+01:002013-05-17T20:47:02.660+01:00I am being very good and saving my Tesco vouchers ...I am being very good and saving my Tesco vouchers for Christmas.

The trouble is that it doesn't go so far in M&S as it does in the other supermarkets but it is free food so I'm not complaining : )<br /><br />On a totally different subject - have you grown asparagus? In each of the last three years I have planted three crowns but yet again, there is no sign of any growth. I'd marked the planting places but they have just vanished. I followed the instructions on the pack but I must be doing something wrong. Just wondered if you'd had any experience with asparagus and had any advice please?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-60381206609482693372013-05-17T08:56:03.474+01:002013-05-17T08:56:03.474+01:00Even the weather forecasts seem to be a little off...Even the weather forecasts seem to be a little off lately.
