    I sowed my asparagus this summer and will be overwintering them in pots in the greenhouse and planting them out in the spring.
    if they were already planted out I should be pruning them back now – but should I do this when they’re in pots?

    Hi MPG,
    I raised my Asparagus seedlings in summer 2016 and overwintered them in an unheated greenhouse in pots. During this time they stayed green so I kept feeding and repotting. They built up over the Winter very well and at no stage went dormant. This speeded up their development and, having taken a small harvest this year, the plants have come on in leaps and bounds and I expect a cracking harvest next year.
