Mary Washington Asparagus 2yr

The roots were nice and easy to plant but I only received 7 when the package said 8.

Nice roots. Waiting to harvest... I suspect to see something next spring

These asparagus plants are growing well and every one mad it. Is an awesome product.

crowns arrived before I had my bed prepped and despite spending almost a month in a bucket of water they are now all planted and growing great.

My Asparagus arrived the 1st 100° day on June 30th. I know I planted it very late and into hostile weather. But I had a raised bed prepared and ready for planting. I soaked the crowns for a few hours then planted them. I started slowly filling in around the plants but the temperature kept rising. So I decided to fully cover the plants and put on a good thick layer of straw. It's now July 15th and it looks like about 12 or my 16 crowns have sprouted and half are ferning out allready. I am very happy with my results.
I filled bed with a mixture of 2 bags of manure, jumbo large bag of garden soil ( I knew this soil was very chunky not like soil at all lol ) 3 large bags of the crap MG soil and a good amount of peat moss..
I'm excited to have a 3 year bed by spring.
I'm wishing I would have bought more crowns but truthfully I thought they would die a quick death.
I added a package of asparagus seeds to the middle of the bed ( I did crowns all around the perimeter. ) I can't wait to move some of my strawberry 🍓 to this bed and some trailing nasturtium.
The people that tell you it's never to late to plant Asparagus are correct.
Happy gardening
