Asparagus
« on: March 15, 2009, 19:17:03 »
I have been growing Aspaagus in pots for three years and each pot has two or three.When do you think i can pick them ?

Should there be more per pot.seems a lot of work for such little return

   I get the impression --  from other posts,  that you need a lot , a lot of plants to get a

   rewarding harvest, 3 yrs until you get the  ' fruit '   --  Don't be put off, they are delicious

   enjoy what you harvest --  plant more is the option,

We have two dozen plants... which is plenty for a family of four now they are established...  :)

We bought two-year-old crowns and harvested in the first (i.e. third) year.
