Asparagus appeared from nowhere!

Heavy rain was forecast for Saturday but had not arrived by 4pm, so we headed down to the allotment to cut back some nettles and grassheads on the paths. Doing some other weeding, aiming to prioritise taking out weeds that look like they will soon spill their seed. Came across some 4ft high spindly things growing, the top looked like asparagus so I cut it off and it was fabulous steamed with butter later. Cut back the rest of the woody stalks to about six inches above ground, so hopefully they will grow back for another harvest soon.
