Title: Asparagus
Post by: Jokerman on May 19, 2009, 21:55:07
My other half wants me to plant some asparagus......   >:(  hate things I can't dig up at the end of the year!!!

Is it too late to plant some crowns this year (I know I can't cut any for 2 years)... and can anyone recommend a variety? I heard all male are best.....

And any further tips would be great!!!!!!!
