Last time I planted asparagus (30 years ago) our German short hair dug up the crowns and ate them. I can’t remember now what kind they were or where I bought them. Any suggestions as I’d like to try again.?
I like ‘Martha Washington’ for an heirloom variety, and then any of the varieties with ‘Jersey’ in the name - they’ve been bread to be primarily male stalks, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. ‘Jersey King’ or ‘Jersey Supreme.’ You can mix them in the same bed.
I added the purple variety to my other patch, which looks beautiful on a veggie/dig platter, but it turns back to green once you cook it. :(
