The English asparagus season officially starts on 1st May, but depending on the weather can start as early as mid-April. The harvest lasts for approximately 6 weeks, until mid-June.
Parsley, chives and mint are all good now.
The first sardines should soon be appearing at the fishmongers so get the barbecue out and start grilling.
