I'll give the seedlings a go, will only need one of the two "boxes" and can grow something else in the other..

Good call!

Have some white beetroot seedlings looking for a new home. :wave:

Also seem to have asparagus seedlings coming up everywhere... twelve in one tomato bucket, and some of my best asparagus is self set, I know because it is under a Jasminium Nudiflorum arch... I would never have planted any there! I think the birds on the feeder are giving the seeds a good start! Almost all my "Spargle" is Connovers Colossal... and these live up to the name! :toothy10:

 I'd love to grow asparagus Saddad, but I think I'm too old to start! I have a 1m x 2m raised bed where I no longer grow celeriac (woodlice always used them as breeding colonies, ugh!) which would probably be big enough for a few crowns to provide me with a taste of one of my favourite seasonal vegetables.

Can one buy mature crowns which would produce a small crop in the year following planting? Or is it just not feasible to even think about growing my own asparagus at the advanced age of 87? Any advice?

Tricia  :wave:

There are certainly varieties that supposedly will crop the year after planting, or even the year of planting if you are lucky (and you are in Devon, where everything starts weeks earlier. Having a windswept plot I've never investigated them so I'm not sure about varieties, but there's a Dutch-looking one that rings a faint bell - Gijnlim, or something like that?

Give it a go - if you're not around to eat it, you'll be past caring anyway!
