Now I thought it took 3 years before an edible asparagus formed, but one year after digging them in, one of my crowns has delivered a wonderful specimen:

I planted five crown last year, but most got dug up by the idiot blackbirds. After spotting the lovely stalk, I decided to visit Salamanca Market at lunch today and buy a few more crowns to replace the four that had been destroyed. So now I have six.
I also stuck in a number of Rialto Fragrant Lilium bulbs. There's a good bulb stall at the markets which sells seasonally only those ready to plant straight away. I didn't
plan to buy bulbs at the markets, but I guess there are worse things to impulse buy.
I might post an image of the ceremonial inaugural asparagus picking tomorrow...
