Asparagus is a long-lived perennial vegetable crop that is enjoyed by many gardeners. It can be productive for 20 or more years if given proper care. Select a male dominant hybrid asparagus variety such as Jersey Giant orJersey Knight. These hybrids out-yield the Mary Washington varieties by as much as 3 to 1.
Harvest asparagus by snapping 7 to 9 inch spears with tight tips. There is no need to cut asparagus below the soil with a knife. This may injure other buds on the crown that will send up new spears. The small stub that is left in the soil after snapping, dries up and disintegrates. A new spear does not come up at the same spot, but comes up from another bud that enlarges on another part of the crown.
Asparagus is very perishable and should be harvested in the morning when air temperatures are cool. After picking, immerse the spears in ice-cold water to remove the heat; then drain the water and place the spears in plastic bags.

I saw Growers Solution online and decided to try their bare roots. I bought 25 bare roots and planted them. 24 survived and my little Christmas trees are beautiful. If I get any asparagus next year, great. If not, i will look forward to getting some the following year. I enjoy getting up in the morning and going down and checking on my little treasures.Verified Buyer RecommendedFantastic PlantsRod warriorLocation: OHDate: May 31, 2019These are great plants.

The Jersey Knight Asparagus makes the perfect addition! The seedlings came quicker than expected and the growth of the plants has been phenomenal. I've had 100% success. Dud not lose one plant. My family and I will be enjoying asparagus for years to come!Verified Buyer Recommendedgreat product!ErinLocation: West central MNDate: July 16, 2018I've never planted asparagus before, and I was happy to find a really good deal on your two year old roots. I planted about half of them, they sprouted out multiple shoots per root within a few days, and they're growing very happily. It was a few weeks before I found someone who wanted the rest of them, and she had the same great luck as I did.Verified Buyer RecommendedAmazing!RandyLocation: ORDate: July 16, 2018The slips arrived on time and I planted them within a few days in a raised bed. A few days later I walked out the back door and saw something sticking out of the dirt and thought, "who stuck a stick in my asparagus bed"? I walked over and one of the slips had pushed up a plant about 6-inches. Later in the day I looked again and a second one was about 3-inches. Only one slip didn't come up quickly and a few days ago it came up too. Extremely pleased.Verified Buyer Recommended
