Asparagus question
Hi,
Does anyone else have trouble with asparagus plants that get bent over by winds? I planted asparagus last year and have let them fern out, but the plants get so tall (seems about 4-5 feet) that they blow over in the winds. I'm afraid this will damage the plants. A friend told me NOT to stake them because it would make the plant weaker. But I'm thinking if the fern snaps in two before it can suck up enough energy for next year that would be worse. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks. |

Asparagus question
Yes. I am in Kansas and it gets blown over all the time. I just let them
lay on the ground and do their thing. I have been doing that for 3 years now and am still getting a lot to eat each spring. Dwayne wrote in message ups.com...
