mejaka is on the preferred substitute list--for Project. Weird.
The asparagus bed is doing well, but I really need to put in some Jersey cultivars.
Next spring we can harvest for a couple of weeks!

Just put in 11 2 year old crowns in a raised bed 2 weeks ago near Sacramento, Ca. I haven’t seen any sprouts yet, but am optimistic! Can’t wait!! Been wanting to do this for a long time and finally got my proverbial stuff together!
Yesterday, in the final beams of daylight, I planted nine asparagus crowns. This morning, the trench was full of rain, so I tried to ditch some of that out. I’m counting this done, since I got them in the ground.
geogal is excited!
The year of asparagus. If I do nothing else this year but finally grow asparagus, I’ll consider myself a huge success!!

With the 5th good strong sprout coming up, I figure my asparagus plant is well on the way to becoming established. I’ll leave the new shoots on again for this year – next year I will start to take a few to eat.

Last year I thoroughly prepared a patch for my asparagus. I’ve tried to grow asparagus before but with very little success; I’d get very few and very spindly shoots come up and the last plant died off. This time I’ve taken more care and actually planted it correctly. Last year I had a few good shoots come up. This year the first 2 shoots have come up looking very strong and promising. I’m keen to see how well this patch will go this year, I’m not a big asparagus eater so I’ve only put in one plant.
I planted 9 crowns of asparagus in the specially set aside area on 25 August and another 3 at the back of the berry box. When it begins to shoot I will mark this goal as done.
