I thought it was a weed - but NO! On closer inspection it is;
THE MOST SMALLEST ASPARAGUS EVER!
But it IS ASPARAGUS!!!!! I'm so thrilled!
There is one sprout on each crown I planted except one! There is also one that has turned into a 'fern' already which you can 'just' see in the photo below! They are so thin & small I have no temptation to pick them! It would be like eating a toothpick! haha. Such a relief as I was worried that they wouldn't come to anything! :)
BRING ON THREE MORE YEARS!!! :)
You do not pick any the first year, only half the second year and after that you should get a good crop. At work (2nd year) we had 3 stalks, I found it hard to cut half of them LOL
ReplyDeleteYes its not exactly the fastest producer! Great for working on patience & perseverance though! haha :)
