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.

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.

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?

Vegetables are not accurate and may give you a bad reading. Fruit works much better.

I guess the Brits have gone too soft to off an ox and read the liver.
