Thanks so much for checking in! I’ll be asking both of you lots of questions, as I am planning on starting an asparagus bed (hopefully this year). I know nothing about it except it takes a year or three before you get a crop to eat.
We planted purple and green varieties.
The purple is bigger and performs best but I’d recommend planting both...
The ground has thawed here in Colorado. Yesterday I planted turnips, mustard greens, beets, collard greens and spinich. Indoors I have several varieties of heirloom tomatoes, okra, jalapenos, summer squash and delecta squash.
There’s a couple of things to it. You either dig deep (10 to 12 inches down) and use REALLY good mix of soil and compost. I chose to go up, i.e. I did a 10” high raised bed. Some of them actually came up the first year.
