Asparagus

[Beekissed]

I've planted both seed and plants over the past few years and have yet to see any but one survive. I have a lonely survivor and I don't know if this is one from seed or plant, but I don't think asparagus likes my clay soils. Wish I could grow this rampant, can't control kind of asparagus of which y'all speak...I love asparagus!

I still regret digging mine up. I am not sure what will happen with what I planted last year. I did not get it really in a good place.

Oh, no, Major!! Fat girl doesn't do well in the heat. I'd melt like a Popsicle, whining loudly all the while.

Then there is also the pesky problem of your good wife...whatever would she do without you? Would probably go something like this..... possibly while singing "life just got better below the 35th parallel"?

I have never seen any spread of asparagus, other then perhaps by..hmmm, say 18 inches, from the original root. New ferns showing up are generally from seeds dropped. I top dress my bed in the fall with chicken manure, and maple leaves for mulch. The bed is over 10 years old now, and still produces more than we can eat.
