A farmer was celebrating an early crop of asparagus after coming up with a unique growing technique.
Farmer Trevor Lee from Quatt near Bridgnorth who came up with a unique early growing technique for asparagus
With his 30 years experience of growing asparagus, Mr Lee in partnership with Marks & Spencer, devised a new growing method which resulted in an early crop. Traditionally, the British asparagus season lasts eight weeks but Marks & Spencer has added up to three weeks on to the season. “About 12 months ago I was just a small farmer. I have a number of colleagues and we got together and set up a company called Western Asparagus Growers and now we sell to multiples,” he said.Mr Lee said: “We have managed to produce asparagus early, I promised them they could have it for Easter and I have achieved that. I started cutting about 10 days ago when normally cutting doesn’t start until the first week of May.
