We ordered the Mary Washington asparagus. They arrived quickly and we are already seeing growth from them. Great product.
Nice roots. Waiting to harvest... I suspect to see something next spring
My Asparagus arrived the 1st 100° day on June 30th. I know I planted it very late and into hostile weather. But I had a raised bed prepared and ready for planting. I soaked the crowns for a few hours then planted them. I started slowly filling in around the plants but the temperature kept rising. So I decided to fully cover the plants and put on a good thick layer of straw. It's now July 15th and it looks like about 12 or my 16 crowns have sprouted and half are ferning out allready. I am very happy with my results. I filled bed with a mixture of 2 bags of manure, jumbo large bag of garden soil ( I knew this soil was very chunky not like soil at all lol ) 3 large bags of the crap MG soil and a good amount of peat moss.. I'm excited to have a 3 year bed by spring. I'm wishing I would have bought more crowns but truthfully I thought they would die a quick death. I added a package of asparagus seeds to the middle of the bed ( I did crowns all around the perimeter. ) I can't wait to move some of my strawberry 🍓 to this bed and some trailing nasturtium. The people that tell you it's never to late to plant Asparagus are correct. Happy gardening
These have shot up a foot in the two weeks since we planted them. We're leaving them alone this year, but expect to have quite a bit of asparagus next spring!
I have never grown asparagus before, so this is my first attempt. Directions are very easy, plant them and let them grow for 2 years. I like the simplicity of this!!
