Strict Covid-19 (Coronavirus) government advice adhered to:

So don’t miss this short 6 – 8 week Irish seasonal asparagus harvest period of these lovely juicy tender green spears, picked by me in the morning, cooked by you in the evening – incomparable with the dried up stuff from South America or Spain which has many air miles behind them.
