|
|
My wife bought me some crowns that were on sale in Aldi last week and I wondered could they be planted this late in the years or is it better to plant them next spring? Could they be planted in a pot in the greenhouse now? _________________ Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust |

I don't grow asparagus- my garden's not big enough- but I eat loads of it and I can tell you it's really late this year, so don't give up yet!! _________________ http://www.wormslovewaste.com/ |

plant them now. Those planted last october will probably come up soon provided they were planted deep enough (8-9inches) to escape frost. They will not produce a satisfactory crop until they have been planted for 2-3 years.

I am getting Asparagus from the plants I put down last year in the spring. No sign of the later ones just yet.. Out of the first seven plants I put down last year, four seem to have made it. _________________ Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
