Jemima Packington, 63, is the worlds only Asparamancer and claims she can peer into the future by tossing the veg in the air and interpreting how the spears land. She predicts that 2019 will see that extreme temperature will become a norm and well-known British businesses will fold.
She also says that despite a global recession, fears over the impact Brexit will have on the British economy will be largely unfounded. Jemima believes the reality TV show Big Brother will also return to our screens after it aired its final series in November. She also says it will be a year of Oscar success for A Star Is Born and British actors.(snip)
I am usually about 75-90 per cent accurate with my predictions and 2018 was about 77 per cent correct. I go through my predictions each year and think: Yep, thats happened, yep, thats happened.

Does she have to handle EVERYTHING? Ew.
Asparagus diseases, along with other garden plant ailments, are very frustrating as a gardener. It’s so disappointing to have seen beautiful fresh green buds sprouting in the spring only to find that by mid summer your roses have black spot and rust,your gooseberries have mildew or, perish the thought, your asparagus ferns are looking less than healthy!
The three main diseases affecting asparagus are:
1) Rust - cased by Puccinia asparagi
2) Fusarium stem and crown rot - casued by Fusarium moniliforme, and / or F.oxysporum f. sp. aspargi
3) Fusarium wilt and root rot - caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. asparagi
Lets just call them rust or rot!
All three diseases are fungal infections and over time will weaken your plants year on year to a greater or lesser extent depending on how well you control the spread.
An important point to remember when considering the effect of these diseases is that the strong vigorous growth of stem and fern that occurs through the summer enables carbohydrate to be channelled and stored in the roots of your crowns over the winter. It is this store of energy that powers the growth of your plants in the spring. If your ferns are healthy and happy in the summer you will get lots of good healthy spears in the spring. By contract if your ferns are stunted by disease your spear production in the spring will be less vigorous.
Two nations will go to war, but only one will win.
Cat lady.
I want to know which wizard of smart predicted (in 2017) that the U.S. would experience NO major tornadoes in 2018.
Well, I think she’s absolutely brilliant and should be on magazine covers worldwide. Nothing, but NOTING, beats asparagus as a predicting tool-—not even beets.
2019 is the ultimate year to make predictions. This is because right after the prediction comes true it then becomes Hindsight and Hindsight is 2020.
Imagine if the voodoo man in Predator 2 was using asparagus instead of bones!
I predict that if you eat those, your urine may smell..
I ask my log every morning...
When did I eat that???
Glad to know its good for something.
And I ate Asparagus tonight for dinner, what does that portend for the future??????????????
"..ass..aspur..azs...they make you see ugly fat British women at night when you sleep"
This is much like divining with arrows (belomancy). Followers of the Koran will kill practitioners of this.
If “extreme” becomes the norm then it’s no longer extreme now isn’t it?
Excellent.
Ha!
I’m stealing that.
“And I ate Asparagus tonight for dinner, what does that portend for the future??????????????”
A trip to the bathroom? Just a guess!
Vegetables are not accurate and may give you a bad reading. Fruit works much better.
