David expects to begin harvesting again next week and have some decent volumes in two weeks time, this of course is dependent on the temperatures. The rain in the last days has also been beneficial to the crop, but unlike the growers in the east of England, although the soil is dryer than normal, Evesham Vale Growers are not struggling for irrigation water.David says it too early to predict prices for the season, but last week a bundle of asparagus was selling for £1.50, which is not bad for the time of the year.
