New gardener

Hello,

I am a new gardener and have just acquired an allotment. After digging today I found lots of these (picture attached) in the ground. They were quite difficult to get up as their roots spread out quite a bit.

Just wondered if anyone knew what they could be?

Thanks,

James

    Artichoke or asparagus?

    I'd say asparagus if they were planted with the roots spread out

    Yep, asparagus for me too.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thank you everyone,

    I think you've hit the nail on the head with Asparagus :)
