10 ea. Mary Washington Asparagus Live Plants, 2yr Crowns

Description: 10 ea. Mary Washington Asparagus Live Plants, 2yr Crowns - Organic Each order contains 10 live Mary Washington 2+ year old plants. Plants are harvested and shipped within one day of order. The crowns should to be planted and kept moist immediately upon arrival. These are excellent asparagus crowns grown in Idaho. The taste is far superior to any store bought asparagus. Once you try a fresh asparagus shoot you will probably eat most of them on your way into the house...before they are even cooked. Asparagus is easy to grow and will provide fresh asparagus shoots for ~20 years. These are heirloom asparagus crowns, female plants will produce seeds which can be harvest and planted for additional plants. I cannot guarantee or even determine which of these young plants are male and which are female. For best production, harvest 2-3 times per week before the shoot tip starts to open. I like mine shoots about 8 inches long. Harvest until the shoots become as thin as a pencil. Then let the shoots grow into ferns (~3-4 feet tall when mature). Once the weather turns cold in October, cut the mature fern to the ground in preparation for next falls harvest. Proudly Grown On Star Mountain Ranch. A small Family Operation in the Pristine Mountains of Idaho. Thank you for supporting produce grown in the USA.
