  Asparagus  
We currently grow four varieties of Asparagus. All are grown in 9cm pots.  They are available from week 8 onwards.  All pots come with a colour card and are grown with slow release fertiliser incorporated to prolong the shelf life.

 

Mary Washington - produces a heavy crop of tender, delicious, thick spears of rich dark green with a purple tinge.

Connovers Colossal - produces a good crop of fairly thick spears, the foliage is also good for flower arranging.

Gijnlim (F1) -  very early cropping with top quality, medium thickness spears.  suitable for both white and green spear production.

Crimson Pacific (F1) - a high yielding plant producing a good crop of purple spears (pictured below).  Excellent sweet flavour.
