Growing at a glance…

Will take 14-15 days to germinate. Sow as early on in spring as possible (March-April), planting 2-3 seeds a pot. Transplant outdoors once the seedlings are large enough to handle. Avoid harvesting asparagus heavily until the second year. Ensure their outdoor soil is well-drained and positioned somewhere that gets sun or is in partial shade. Cut foliage when it has yellowed.
