I picked up a pot full of Mary Washington asparagus seedlings at a high school plant sale. For about a buck of two, I got about 9 seedlings. They’ll go in the ground for this winter and stay there until they flower. How deep should I plant them for that?

I know that the roots can get pretty extensive and tough to dig up. I had to dig some other female plants up and it was brutal.

Yeah, I guess I’m done with Gurney’s. They are no deal with you consider the loss of plants. I might as well have spent a little more elsewhere and and had well established plants that are what they were supposed to be.
