Re: Asparagus help

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Carolgirl et al,

I described one of two (#2 has raised bed but no blocks YET) so I have 22
plants for myself.

The Territorial Seed Catalog states that "Jersey Knight" variety (all male)
will produce 7 - 9 THIN spears per season. I seem to remember 5 - 6 spears
years ago from my "Mary Washington" patch which succumbed to wet feet within
3 yrs of maturity.

My guess is that 4 - 6 spears of the thick varieties, more if a thin
variety, would be a reasonable expectation from MATURE (IN SITE) plants.

This will be first (light) harvest of my '97 (seed) planting. Buying roots
will save a year.

"Hope this helps. As always is the case, your own research is the most
reliable.

Regards,
