How to plant asparagus crowns

At the risk of sounding like an insufferable egomaniac, I’m always stunned by the performance of my ‘s’ video. It gets hundreds of plays every weekend, especially at this time of year – from which I infer that there are a lot of folks out there wanting to know how to do it right.

    great vid learning which I’d like to implement but my garden isn’t suited, being in large crates.

    question: what’s the most practical way to train pea plants up a frame or mesh ?

    I’ve planted out 8 pea seedlings which are all doing well and would like to get them to behave this year, and grow upwards without getting into a horrible tangle.

    i’m just asking if anyone knows a good online resource about this. thanks, tom

    Hi Tom

    I don’t think it much matters if they do get in a tangle. Mine always do. Doesn’t seem to affect their cropping.

    Whatever you’ve cooked up, I’m sure it’s better than Iron Man 3.

    Hope that gets going for you soon. Asparagus is just one of the real gourmet treats from the allotment. The difference in taste between home grown and the horrible supermarket asparagus is incomparable.
