hi John...I know you know this but for your readers....did you know that asparagus will go to seed? at the end of the season if you let your asparagus grow into a fern, the female plants will devlope red seed pods, inside there are 5+ black seeds (round like pepper corns) inside the red pod, one can collect these and plant them. It takes 2 full years to get to the point when you can plant the crowns (like John does here)...so time and more time is needed...that said if you have an Asparagus bed (that won't be disturbed) and the willingness you can put in the seeds and in time you'll have free asparagus crowns. Mine have been going for years and i'm very happy . If anyoe is interested I can show you what they look like
I grew mine from seed and after 4 years I am now taking a full harvest. Long term project but 25 years of free Asparagus. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
@old school prepper I took on an extra Allotment and the following year the Asparagus popped up, but was in the wrong plastic took the seeds, planted them in pots and that where they stayed for two years then prepared a bed and haven't looked back.
That bed of asparagus is going to do great John! I want to get a patch of it growing here. It takes a couple of years to establish but it is such a powerful vegetable to have and it gives back forever food! Great job!
My asparagus came from an old homestead in hubby's family. His great grandmother's sister's home. She was born in 1852. There is still asparagus growing there today. We dug some of it up and transplanted it. So, some asparagus will grow for a long long time.
Hi I planted my first asparagus crowns last month. Im getting really thin, tall and seedy looking stalks. Is that normal? Should I cut them back? Thank you!
Really nice John not sure where I would put an asparagus bed and if they would even make it in my climate. Ugh, still need to get Bone meal, thanks for the reminder. Also all those roots are tempting you I bet but no sniffing sir!
Nice video! I planted purple asparagus last year so I have 2 more years before I can start harvesting. By the way, check your email from me about my sponsor participation.

Hi John, great share.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thank you, you make it easy.
Asparagus is something that I love but have never attempted in my garden. Now I know what to do. Thanks!
Great info on how to plant asparagus, sir. Nice amendments to get good growth. Appreciate the share
Planted my bed last year! I love perennial crops!
Looking forward to give this a try! Great video.
Very informative video! I've never grown asparagus and I want to try eventually so I am absorbing all the information I can. Thanks
awesome
Asparagus is not common here. Nice to learn more about it
I had asparagras in FL but not here in the apartment garden..
:) I think someone is missing tags??
@@wildedibles819 maybe he should penalize himself?
Glad to see a video from you. How’s the chickens and the dogs.

Good video. ❤ Go Team WILL IT GROW !
We just got some crowns and didn't know what to do with them. Thank you for teaching us. Do you have anymore asparagus videos? God bless

did you plant them from crowns or seed?
@@WILLITGROW from crowns
Add a six inches more soil on top of your crowns. And use a mulch.
no do not cut anything let them fully grow out this year only start to harvest in year #4
@@WILLITGROW Thank you so much!
First time I see it planted like that but it seems to do the trick! Patience is what is hard with asparagus! haha!
