I hope I get at least 1 stalk next year.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215355279739031258.post-8689331450647899582009-04-29T07:03:00.000-05:002009-04-29T07:03:00.000-05:00I understand the committing to a permanent spot. ...I understand the committing to a permanent spot. We do major tilling with big equipment, so the permanent stuff has to reside around the house. That's why my first attempt ended up in the blueberries to begin with!! I love the harvesting potential--one day there is a nub sticking out of the ground, and the next an 8 in spike. Fat ones too!! Very cool.MILLIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723716803153365613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215355279739031258.post-80210747891288448252009-04-28T20:18:00.000-05:002009-04-28T20:18:00.000-05:00I LOVE asparagus but haven't tried growing it yet,...I LOVE asparagus but haven't tried growing it yet, mostly because I haven't wanted to commit to a permanent spot!

I've read they live for decades, so you should be harvesting for a long, long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215355279739031258.post-25545248907828019452009-04-26T19:17:00.000-05:002009-04-26T19:17:00.000-05:00Very good.

Also that asparagus is being produced in beds more than 100 years old. Also, the crowns that are sold are gotten by planting seeds in fields. Maybe you will have crowns to sell or share!! There are indeed many "official" asparagus sites. I should go read. I also think it is a noxious weed in some states.

I won't actually be able to harvest for another year or so but victory is still sweet. I hope you will show us your asparagus patch. Love to see it!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737367324901967724noreply@blogger.com
