Asparagus (Bulk Seed)

A hardy perennial, asparagus offers the first harvest of spring. Rich in vitamin A and C, asparagus may be steamed until tender or frozen immediately after harvest. Harvest spears in the third year when grown from seed, or the following spring when grown from mature roots.

Growing Tips: If sowing seeds, soak for 48 hours prior to planting to encourage germination. Field-grown roots should be planted in a 25cm (10”) deep trench as soon as the soil can be worked, and enriched with compost or manure. Set each crown on a small mound of earth and bury it under several inches of soil. As the stalks grow, continue to fill in the trench until it is level with the rest of the garden. Asparagus is a heavy feeder and will benefit from a yearly topdressing of compost or manure. Begin harvesting the third spring after planting by cutting 15-22cm (6-9”) tall spears at the soil surface.
