Shops have "new season UK asparagus" from Wye valley. How is this
possible?

I notice the grower is carefully not mentioning the full details beyond,
it's about years of research/investment into growing methods and
different varieties from around the world.

The secrecy is hardly surprising given the goldmine it promises to be
for him and M and S who bought his whole crop.


Janet.

It isn't the same though, is it, as looking forward to the short
asparagus season and then filling your boots with it? Every day for a
month is enough for me. I wonder if it will taste as good as 'normal'
asparagus? the stuff that is imported from Peru certainly doesn't taste
as good.
