Hey, Spaw you been on the assparagus or Aspro-grass (cross between "homebake" & "weed") to dream up such a diabolical, money making scheme. I couldn't locate Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe in my phone book, so have been unable to make a donation to your noble charity. However, I will volunteer as an assparagus picker, when the crop is right. Please advise what type of pick I should bring, finger, thumb, flat, tooth, ice or "Harpic" (it's a toilet cleaner that "goes right round the bend").

Or, do you "pull" assparagus - as you do legs?

No, I know, you cut it!! So "cut it" Spaw, I'm cackling so much, I could lay an egg....(and that's a poultry line......;)

Cheers - Sam
