Asparagus has long been grown in England, the best traditionally coming from the Vale of Evesham. The picking season is very short, however - a few weeks in June each year. Hence the demand for the imported crop - which is, however, vastly inferior in quality.

This past year we had the lowest number of tornadoes ever.
