Spears are delicious fresh or
can be frozen or canned.
Our asparagus is grown
from seed and left in field 2 to 3 years before it is dug.

are going to keep roots longer than 2 weeks, untie bunch and
spread roots out. Do not store in a damp place. |

Will grow in acid,
alkaline, sandy, clay or any type of black soil. If potting, use any
type of potting soil.

Dig a trench 8" deep. Root
should be laid flat in bottom of trench with crown or top of
root in middle with tentacles spread evenly in each direction.
Only put 5" of soil on top at time of planting. As plant grows
