I have some asparagus growing.
Like many of the lessons I’ve learned over the years I learned the HARD way not to put out too little. It takes a LONG time to spread.
So I have enough for about one meal, although I planted it three years ago (LOL). I tried to find some sets this year and can’t find it anywhere. Next year I am ordering my seeds and sets from Jungs.
So, my advice would be to order it from Jungs, and LOTS of it.
We just put in some asparagus last weekend. I hope it does OK. We put some in quite a few years back. We dug a trench as the directions said. Then we had tons of rain and I think all of it must have rotted from too much water. I trenched a little bit this time, but not as deep. I figured I would just hill up around the plants this time. Of course we are getting many days of rain again, but I don’t think the drainage will be a problem.
I ordered an heirloom apple tree and some heirloom fingerling potatoes from Jung’s this year. The apple tree went in last weekend, haven’t gotten to the potatoes yet.
