Don't cut all the spears - leave some to produce fern, which will allow the plants to build up their strength for next year.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-24742454583513364522012-06-01T15:43:09.916+01:002012-06-01T15:43:09.916+01:00Looks great.

When we moved to this location, I started a bed to replace the one I left behind at the old homestead but sadly the new one did not thrive and after several years I pulled it out with the intent of starting over in another location in the garden. That was two years ago and I have yet to start another patch. I miss them alot and need to find a good place to get a new bed going.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-65077305680854497242012-05-07T13:52:47.025+01:002012-05-07T13:52:47.025+01:00Yummy!
