I love asparagus, but ideally the white stuff my German grandma used to grow, not this sparrer graaas stuff.

You get white asparagus by covering up The emerging spears with soil/mulch like you do with leeks apparently.
I planted 18/20 crowns last year so looking forward to taking my first (half) cropping this year.

Delicious stuff, samphire.
Not in season yet, though.
