Notes

New asparagus bed put in in a "special" bed - full sun at noon in midsummer, full shade at noon in winter, and in fact shaded almost completely for most of winter. Soil was the partly-improved stuff I made for the main bed last year that's been sitting for six months. Root clumps are from my mum's garden, long-established plants with good tuber stock. Will see how they transplant.

Experimental · new and might be flaky

Frost is rare here

Frost is rare in this area, so we show no frost dates.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
