Asparagus is suitable for Spring planting – try to avoid the last heavy frost. Raised beds are not necessary they can be planted into borders or traditional beds. Avoid planting the asparagus on the site of old asparagus beds as this may cause problems with disease.

Ground must be kept weed free before planting and through to cultivation for best results.
