Thanks for the reply! I’m hoping and wishing it works out. If not it was just $4 of seed instead of $25 of asparagus crowns.
Whatever you do, the first year you won’t get many good eating sprouts. Wait until you get the first ferns of asparagus and have several ripe red berry seeds. Break them apart and let them dry and you will have enough to plant a number of plants for the future. A thick asparagus bed can produce more than you can eat.
