Dear Westi, what you think is Asparagus, is probably plump couch grass. 
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Dear OH
My vast experience with pulling couch grass makes me more than sure it is asparagus (or couch grass cleverly disguised as asparagus).
Not the right forum but the no dig loads of compost on the beds suits the couch grass perfectly, it's looking better than ever!
Westi (Now where did I put that aspargus knive - might need a little sharpen & polish?)

One chap on our site is picking his to. It's his first year to harvest just a few spears but they do look good. No sign of mine yet.
