Yes, first bed. They were 3 year olds when I got them last summer.



Keep an eye out for the asparagus beatle. It looks a
lot like a ladybug but the spots and color are a
bit different.

They will lay their eggs on the ferns. The larva
will strip a plant.

If you see them start spraying the fern with a hose
using a spray nozzle every few days. Doesn't take
too much to knock them off.

Good Luck!
