Jersey Giant Asparagus Hybrid 2yr

Asparagus roots came in good condition and have already grown almost 30cm.
I like it a lot.

All of the asparagus I planted is growing long and tall looks very healthy the starts you sent me were wonderful

This spring I received a large number of 2 year old roots from Holland Bulbs that looked good. I planted them in a trench fertilized with vermicompost, kept them watered, and soon they were almost all putting up fronds. There might have been one root that didn't make it. This is my third planting of asparagus over the past 38 years and these roots have done better than any from other sources. Very happy with them.

It's been so fun to watch these plants come up, fern and still more sprouting around the bed. Hoping for a small harvest of asparagus next Spring.

Asparagus came well packaged. They were just about to dry up. I planted them within 24-48 hours of receiving them. I used that time to prepare the garden with manure and nutrient dense soil. Within two weeks they were establishing themselves. Stalks are thin and sparse after a 4-6 weeks of growth, but are around 2 ft in height. There were two or three roots that didn’t grow well, I’ve added organic fertilizers to see if they’re salvageable. After the initial two weeks, 80% of the roots adapted nicely with little effort and minimal maintenance. Price was average. Quality was below expectations, as I was expecting 100% spawns from root sources verses seed sources. I purchased two types, but I can’t tell one from the other so far. We shall see how they develop in the next few years. I’m going to recommend getting locally grown roots rather than investing in this company.
