Asparagus

I had great success growing asparagus from seed (Mary Washington), so about 10 months ago when I knew I'd be leaving my rural retreat I dug up 2 crowns & transplanted them into large pots.

They survived 4 days stuck in the removal van and the change of temperature from 35C to 25C.

They're a bit confused but have thrown 6 spears so far.

It'll be interesting to see how they go as asparagus have deep roots & they may eventually outgrow the pots.
