So proud - Small chilli - 31-03-2021
My little 1 year old asparagus are doing so well. Even though they’re still very small and 2 or 3 years from harvest. They’re producing better then my 5 year olds .

Last photo focused on the back ones but you get the idea.

Do you keep them in pots SC or is that just to get them started? I ask as I believe asparagus have a long shallow root system so probably not best suited for pots?
RE: So proud - Small chilli - 01-04-2021
They’re in pot to get them started. They will get potted on again when they go dormant. My mature asparagus are also in a pot.

I knew I wouldn’t be staying here when I planted it. When they all move, the plan is raised beds in the polytunnel.

They do look good SC. When did you sow them, mine were sown about this time last year.

I really must put the date on the label before I forget how old they are.

I did move them from pots to a raised bed in November, fingers crossed.(01-04-2021, 07:41 AM)Broadway Wrote: They do look good SC.

I wouldn't raise the beds too high or you'll be in the same boat.

The 'nowhere for roots to go' boat

Oh that boat . They’ll have to deal with it . They ain’t going in open ground, they’ll drown. The 5 year olds are doing fine in there 22” x 13” pot. I believe the youngsters are doing better because they’re a different variety.
