Received 60 asparagras roots today - let the gardening begin.
Cool, Sarge. =) How old are they?

The box says 1 yo. Can you trust it ? chuckle
Give it a few years before you harvest it, then. The plant needs those
spears to open into little "ferns", for the following year's growth.

What variety? =)

On new transplants we don't pick at all the first year - and just 2 weeks
the 2nd - and 3 weeks the 3rd.

Now that requires willpower.


If you want spears, it's a requirement. The third year, the crowns are
fully established, and begin producing like mad. You can buy two and three
year old crowns, hence my question. =)
