Re: Asparagus

Is your "zone 2" a USDA zone?  (I'm not sure where Rolla is.)  If you 
are in the interior of BC then give it time.  I your climate it will 
take longer to establish the crowns.  Make sure the ferns get a long 
season the first few years.  Also make sure they're well drained.

(If you're in coastal BC then email me directly, as your conditions and 
mine would be very similar.)
