One of my most anticipated areas is the asparagus patch. My best advice to anyone who recently bought a home is get in your fruit trees, grapes, berries, asparagus, rhubarb, and other edible perennials ASAP!

Tip: when you are preparing your asparagus for a meal, don't just cut off the end if you think it's too tough. Instead use a vegetable peeler to get past the outer bark. You will find this to be just as delicious and tender as the head.

James, I planted 3 two-year old crowns this year. They are starting to fern. I’m so proud. Looking forward to eating a few stalks next year! Thank you for making asparagus easy for me to grow! 🤠Hats off to the teacher!

The sound of that crunch is so dreamy.

Just a helpful suggestion ...you can also grasp the base of the stalk as close to the ground as possible then firmly push down and twist the stalk to release it from the crown below ground level without breaking the stalk. This helps avoid bugs entering a broken stalk at or below ground level

My current asparagus bed has been going for 27 years and is still as productive as ever. I've been cutting spears below ground level for 45 years with no problems.

4 or 5 years ago I got a couple packs of asparagus seeds in a grab bag and had no idea what to do with them so I sprinkled them on top of a 10 gallon garden bag and forgot about them. It looked like every seed germinated! When they were about a foot tall, hubby transplanted them into a flowerbed and they have grown ever since.

Watching the video now and just wanted to comment on how much I love your garden. I’m in NJ as well and your my go to gardener. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks for sharing all the wisdom!!

ROTFLOL, you ate the whole end that your dog chewed on, and left the other half in your other hand. Then you fed the half you saved for yourself to the dawg, dude you're a riot!

I am in my eighth year of harvesting asparagus. I kid you not some of the asparagus or as big as small cigars so sweet and delicious a couple years ago. I had an issue with asparagus beetles, but the cooler weather the last couple years has really helped
I have already blanched and frozen for later in the season. It’s a must grow for any gardener.

I planted asparagus a few years back because of one of your videos... I've had to move it a couple times to help it find its happy place, and now it's thriving!🌱🌱🌱
Love seeing Tuck still enjoying the harvest and helping to manage the garden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
hearts for Tuck!

I am sure I am not the only person who absolutely loves you and your dog! What a lovely presentation, thank you.

[nancydrewsgarden]

I think Tuck ate the whole patch!!! Love this guy!!! Give the man a metal ❤❤❤

[marciawarden]

I planted some asparagus in bags last spring, this year we planted in ground one was from seed just to see if I could grow it the other was a crown I bought at Lowe’s. They did great and we’ll have some in salads next year! I also planted rhubarb and strawberries. I’m trying to help my son be self sufficient.

This was the most comprehensive video about asparagus that I've seen. And, Tuck is beyond too cute.

[tanaakson]

Hilarious little Tuck ❤ I love the jump cut when Tuck is about to go for his umpteenth spear and then appears by your side in the next second but that spear has been taken 😂

[bluefeatherhomestead]

Great tips! Mine grew for 3 years and then stopped. I now know why. 😮 I will know next time. Thank you for sharing. ~Sammie

Research Alton Brown cooking asparagus. Fresh has a handful of nutrients but cooked it has over 150 nutrients-- amazing. He educates us in such a fun way. Hope you look it up-- Good Eats. Never have I seen a dog love veggies like him. Mine loved fresh green beans right of the bush but that was it. Just had to plant a new patch, 175 plants so far. The old patch was over 25 years old and just gave out. Going to try your tips on keeping it going better, Never knew the berry ferns should be removed.

I am in yr 2 of my asparagus . I started them from seed. Thank you for this great info! 💚
