You can buy them ready to eat, you dont have to grow them yourself I just love them.

oh Asparagus is one of the few veg that really really does taste nice when you cook it ASAP from cropping.

I planted 20 crowns (4 varieties) in a trench on my allotment, and this will be their 3rd year in the ground, and first croppable year.
A couple of things have stood out so far - the spears are quite the most amazing taste when eaten fresh, seconds earlier having been cut from the ground, and also it really pays to keep the row free of weeds.
They also seem to do nothing at all then one or two spears per crown erupt
With any luck this year we will have several spears per plant....

And I always thought they looked more like leggy hairy spiders than facehuggers - must be the way the spooks work inside my head
