We have a little over 400 asparagus plants and we add 50 a year to replace some of the older plants 20 years is the lifespan. We like a strain called " Purple Passion" from Jungs. It is sweeter and softer than the green stuff. It also turns green when you cook it for those with color issues with food.Hey... I am looking at putting a bed of asaparagus in... what strains do you like the best and is this the best time to plant it?
Vicki...even though it is a little warmer down south, still going to have to buy some of my starter plants... spring is lasting too long and I am loosing lots of starter plants I have. Going to set up my little 5 x5 greenhouse this weekend adn get some plants outside. hope they make it!
