Are you growing strawberries and asparagus in your garden? Let us know in the comments below!

I planted about 150 bare root strawberries last year. Got enough berries to nibble on but next year will be sweet.

Planted asparagus from seed last year and I already have fairly thick stalks about to come up from the roots. I’ll have to sit on them another year to get the best harvest next year. I’ll probably harvest a stalk or two lol

[Betty-qdst]

Aaaw man, I can’t wait for spring. I planted a bunch of June bearing last year. I also have a few ever bearing. The Ever bearing was flowering after the frost. They don’t produce much but it’s a nice surprise to find 2-3 berries here n there . I do need to plant a few more this year

[theapopkagardener]

Dale is cute as always. He’s having a great time with his toy. Your strawberries look pretty good in this cold. Thanks for the info.😊

[SiriusScientist]

I always love the Dale clips at the end. The squeaking while zooming was adorable! I miss the warm winters down south! I’m in northern New England and I’m currently iced in dreaming of spring. I placed a small crown order of Martha Washington, but am really considering adding a second variety after seeing this. I also went with a single variety of bareroot strawberries (charlotte) and am tempted to order a second … just in case the first doesn’t do as well in our frigid zone 5. I’ll be looking forward to the upcoming asparagus videos!

[carybradley]

Excellent advice to shop now for best selection. I planted first asparagus last year and so very much looking forward to your how to prune first year asparagus video. Thanks! Hugs to Dale!

[GreenThumb]

Thanks so much for your heads up advice! It is so much appreciated! I just bought the asparagus and strawberries from hand-picked as you suggested. I really trust your recommendations and time frames on purchases! I would’ve totally missed out this year planting these wonderful items! You are totally awesome!

Zoomies. Great video! I just adopted a little designer dog. She is amazing and loves the garden. Wanted to let you know my "winter" tomatoes are huge. Ken in southwest Florida

[MattyDemello]

There are tons of varieties. I just ordered "tribute everbearer, Surecrop June bearing and Earlyglow june bearing"

[valoriegriego]

More great info...thanks! Dale is too cute! He's a very fashionable pup...another sweater he looks great in.🙂

Hello. This is the second and third season for my Asparagus grown from seed. In the first 2 years the bed filled out nicely and last year I had a few small harvests and left the rest to grow into a tall bushy hedge. I also added several plants that I'd been growing in pots and now look forward to bountiful harvests of tasty spears this spring. My strawberries are on their second season and were heavy producers right into fall. I cut and disposed of the runners because there were just too many but planning on potting some up in the next growing season. Dale definitely loves his sqeek toys. My dogs always eventualy removed the sqeeker and chewed it apart.

[marykate]

I have some asparagus I started from seeds in 2019 and have resisted harvesting any spears so far. Planted one pack of crowns from Walmart last year. Hopefully will harvest some this year.
Bought some strawberry crowns from Hand Picked Nursery about a month ago and sadly none has shown any sign of life so far. I hope they grow.

[marcuspowell]

I like Raintree Nursery for my bare roots. Thanks for the video.

[MattyDemello]

I will have to buy some plants from that hand picked nursery. Any time i can support a veteran, I absolutely will. Good to know. thanks.

Hi MG, I’m growing both strawberries and asparagus. They are in the same raised bed, but not interspersed. This is the second year for both. Can you please tell me when I should fertilize them? I’ve heard as early as January (I’m in 9B). Loving your message!!

[Youngstomata]

Great video MG always learning from your channel! I thought you were going to say buy bare root fruit plants! (Just planted peaches and mulberry this week)

[marciawarden]

I’m also growing strawberries “I don’t remember variety” and moving to a sunnier location and I want to put some in a grow tower. These fruit all summer/fall, is it better to mix varieties that produce spring/summer with the variety I have. And best varieties? Any suggestions? I’m in Summerville SC.
Also thank you so much for all you do. I so appreciate your advice and grow tips.

Nice video! His strawberries and asparagus are amazing i purchased this past spring from him! However we were so impressed we purchased raspberries and blackberries and the raspberries were not great and I reached out several times with extremely delayed contact and then no contact at all. Would've loved to purchase from him sheikh but after that experience we searched else where.

[hardstylzz]

Got 25 of the Evie-2 everbearing from Hand picked in Oct doing real well in a oak pallet frame, also scenic hill farm nursery has Albion bareroot that i bought in end of Dec they are doing very well here in zone 8b South Georgia.

Watched this video last week and just received my strawberry roots from hand picked nursery in the mail today. Thanks for the tips! I am planning on planting my strawberries in an outdoor hydroponic grow tower and some in my raised beds. Should I start this inside for the next month and a half or so, or what would you recommend for my situation? I am located in NC as well, 7B. Thanks again!
