Gardening jobs for the weekend 🌱 Plan for perennial vegetables now, from asparagus to artichokes ⤵️
is the most widely grown and popular perennial vegetable, yielding heavy crops of tender, well-flavoured spears from April until June – a time of year when few other vegetables are available from the garden. They will suit any fertile soil in full sun and free of perennial weeds.
Asparagus can be cropped in the second year if only a few spears are taken, but full cropping should await the third year. The wait puts people off – but the pay-off is well worth the forbearance.Wider spaced plantations can last 20 years. Although closer planted ones may have shorter lifespans, they give a heavier crop initially – 1.2m between rows and 30cm between plants is a good compromise..
Gather flower heads in early summer. Small buds, a little larger than golf balls, are arguably tastier than older, tennis ball-sized buds from which the hairy “choke” must be removed.Perennial kales were, until recently, offered only by a very few herb nurseries but these handsome and productive plants are now widely available and very popular, with stock often in short supply.
