I planted some asparagus from Tractor Supply. I have no idea if it will grow or not!
Mine has been in the ground a few years and is really starting to get established.
Last year was a decent crop. This years look nice, with thick stalks.
My daughter ate some last year and said that that homegrown stuff set the bar really high.
I’ve had it that fresh before and it’s phenomenal.
Do you know the cultivar/ species ?
Do you know whether they are 1 yr. or 2 yr. old roots ?
Generally the larger and older roots will yield a harvestable crop sooner , provided the soil has been adequately prepared (rich in organics,leaves, and long term release nitrogen).
The cheapest asparagus I’ve planted so far was from seed. I got the seeds from Kitchen Garden but I see Parks has some as well as Jungs. I got 90 seedlings from one $5 pack of seed. It takes one more year for them to produce than if you buy roots usually.
If I remember correctly I planted ‘Jersey Knight’ and ‘Purple Passion’ or something like that.
