Hi earlybirds
wish i could grow asparagus
btw you might have more replies if you post in Edible Plants :)
Hmm..I do have to dissapoint you with your search. Even if you are able find and buy 'large' plants..they will still need time to establish and cropping next summer is unlikely..not only that..it is getting bit late for buying plants as they are now left to grow and build energy for next year.
Usually you buy bare rooted crowns early in the year..or seedling plants that are sold in pots.
You best bet propably is to find commercial grower who may be able to split his plants..but even then..not this time of the year.
