I purchased 30 Jersey Giant Asparagus crowns during the spring of 2018. I had to store the crowns in a refrigerator for two weeks after delivery. Shortly after planting the crowns, and regular watering, every plant grew. After several weeks, they really look good for two year old plants.
We are seeing excellent growth from 4 of the 5 roots provided in the pack after 2 and a half weeks since planting.
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.
Ok, I am shocked. 2 Year Crowns and only been in the ground 10-15 days and I already have 8 spears? I did not expect to see anything for at least a year or so. Not complaining at all, just very shocked. In a good way of course. I purchased 50 roots so I think that should be more than enough if things go the way they appear to be going. Thank you again. Tod
