Jemima Packington from Pershore in Worcestershire, could give you a few ‘tips’ for the future… She tosses her asparagus tips in the air and analyses how they land! She’s been making predictions this way since the age of 9 and says it only works with British Varieties.
Talking of British varieties, April 23rd sees the start of the 2008 (3rd) British Asparagus Festival. The Festival, which runs until 21st June gets under way with the Great English Asparagus Run, at 8am on the morning of the 23rd April, followed by many asparagus related events throughout the next couple of months including the Asparagus auction which has taken taken place at the famous National Trust property, the Fleece Inn, in Bretforton, for decades. You can even book on an Aspara’bus’ tour! I think I might just give the event a try.. and I’m definitely going to order a few copies of “a Passion for Asparagus” for the library
