If you look very carefully...
...you can just see a baby asparagus spear (pink).
The very first spear of the year!
I've protected it with stones and bricks so we don't trample on it.
Last year I planted four asparagus crowns (I think) so in this second year I'll only harvest a few spears. This is so that the plants can continue to develop and become strong and productive. From next year onwards the real harvesting will begin.
I have no idea how many crowns are needed for a small, continuous crop for four people.
