Anybody else got asparagus this early? It's year three so haven't picked or eaten it yet but all my books say it should be harvested end of April/ early may. I dont know what variety it is either. I have about 6 spears about 6ins hight. Do you think it's ok to start cutting?

Mine have just poked their little heads above ground. It's hard to know without knowing the variety, but six inches isn't bad. How thick are they? You could always try one as a test.
Hi Italophile. They are quite thick- certainly thicker then I've seen in the supermarket sp maybe a different variety. I'm not a lover of the said veg but the other half loves them so it's all for him. Suppose it won't kill him if I cook a few for him to try-Good idea - Thanks.
Yes, I had to earth up at the end of jan to try and check/protect them too.

Yes, JG....it's been one of those years.

Let's hope the rest of the crops follow suit! And David, no clotches involved in sunny south Wales !
