Asparagus

Nothing in the garden requires more patience than Asparagus. Often planted as bare root crowns, the typical time for harvest from newly planted asparagus crowns is three (3) years! Before you can take the first bumper harvest.

Despite the long-time frame, it is much quicker than trying to grow from seed. That said the reward of home-grown asparagus grown from seed, is much more enjoyable and at a much more affordable cost than the average crown.

Start today and be rewarded with your first harvest in 3 years. All the good things come to those who wait! Asparagus has a rather long growing time frame from seed. Once sown regular transplanting is required for the first 12 months before we finally recommend planting into it's final growing position.

In year two avoid picking any spears let the plant, crop, seed and cut back once the spears have gone woody. Year 3 take 10-20% of the first crop harvest now you can start enjoying this crop after all this time! From year 4 onwards you can harvest the full crop, younger shoots are often more tender and sweeter.

From this point onwards you will be rewarded for the next 15-20 years with a regular harvest of Asparagus soots, all grown from seed!
