Why asparagus is tipped to predict the future

A Worcestershire woman has been trying out her tips for predicting the future - using asparagus.

Jemima Packington describes herself as the only "asparamancer" in the UK and makes her predictions from the way the stalks fall on the floor.



She said she started her fortune telling "quite by chance" some years ago after some stalks fell on her floor and she made a prediction which came true.

"I can't even remember what prediction I made when I was young but my family went very quiet and it came true and the rest is history," she said.
