i planted a number of asparagus crowns in march and i'm starting to wonder if it was all in my imagination as there is still no signs of life - when should shoots above ground start to appear? having seen last weeks gardeners world, the ones they planted had a protruding vertical "tip" that looked a good inch in length when planting - mine didn't - now worried that i was either sold duff plants, or that they have died - can anyone shed light on what i should expect and when?
thanks L
