   I also bought this seed this year and I’m going to give it a try here in Canada. Sounds yummy and I’m always up for trying something new. I never thought to start them indoors first so as to get a head start I’ll try it also. great tip, thanks!!

   First year on our allotment and this was on my ‘let’s have a go’ list. The shots are now about 4 inches and fanning out in their individual pots. I get the impression however that these are a marmite plant, you will either love them or hate them. This has made me a little apprehensive but there also seem to be a multitude of ways to eat them, from boiled directly on site with lemon and salt, to a key ingredient in curry dishes. I’d be really interested to hear what you both think once your asparagus peas are ready.

     The asparagus peas are growing well, and I’ve started to get the first flowers on them. When I harvest them I’ll let you all know what they’re like I expect a video will be made. I hope you’re having fun on your allotment, it’s certainly very addictive and if I don’t go down for a couple of days I start to get withdrawal symptoms.
