Plant in the early spring at correct depth, and wait 2 years before picking. Do not fertilize until following year. DO NOT use manure.
I will be doing this next spring, several 20 degree temps back to back has froze the entire 100 ft by 4 ft row. The Amish that put it in orginally can't remember what variety he planted.
We have another round of freezing this weekend. Usually will only get a light frost this time of year that a good cover will take care of.
We are hoping after this comes through that it stays warm and MAYBE fingers crossed, that it didn't kill the "crowns" and only the asparagus. SIGH.
This is why I can/freeze/dry enough food for at least 18 months if not 2 years.

Thank you. I want to give this a go as I love it, but as I'm starting small, might give other produce a few years before tackling the prep for asparagus.
