Nice roots. Waiting to harvest... I suspect to see something next spring
In Southeast temperate Kansas. We have purchased these from Holland Bulbs three consecutive years and are very happy with the results. One year the roots came with some rot and Holland Bulbs immediately took care of it so we could plant in time. If you are a first time asparagus grower I would recommend these and I always recommend Holland Bulbs
Over the years I've planted Mary Washington Asparagus seeds to create an asparagus bed and have had limited success. Usually, getting a few spears after 5+ years and, quite simply, turning them under and giving up. However, this year I had created a new bed that I worked on and contemplated what to plant in the bed...after picking up some fresh asparagus at the grocery store I realized I wanted to cultivate a true asparagus bed like my mother and father had in their garden. Well, I found Holland Bulbs and bought three orders of crowns (about 21, 22 crowns). It's been about six weeks and they have been amazing! I'm looking forward to being able to harvest spears in the next year or two. The crowns are healthy and flourishing! Thanks Holland Bulbs!
I ordered this on May 4, it arrived about 2 weeks later and I planted it immediately. That is late for asparagus, but it is now growing well. (I particularly appreciate the instructions for planting that came with it. )
Everything was packages nicely. I was able to quickly plant 64 plants and I’m happy to report they are up and healthy already. So happy with this product. Can’t wait for yummy dinners to come! Thank you!
