Asparagus Autumn Update

At the end of the growing season we need to tidy the perennial  bed in the 10min garden and make sure its ready to produce the best crop for next season,this means removing all the old yellowing foliage from both the Asparagus and Seakale which share this bed.

Remember that you are always best hand weeding these beds as the roots are very shallow and hoeing then can dramatically reduce the vigor of your Asparagus.In the spring I will feed the bed with about 3oz per yard of Fish,Blood and bone to get it of to a flying start

How to Grow Seakale

Nearly impossible to buy fresh  but as easy to grow as Rhubard,Seakale is a vegetable that deserves it place in our Perennial garden as it brings a great delicious taste at the end of winter and once planted will crop for years.
