Asparagus is not a plant to grow if you are looking for a fast reward.   When started from seed, you probably will not enjoy your first crop for three growing seasons.  It is well worth the wait!

Start the seeds indoors or in a greenhouse 60 to 90 days prior to your last expected frost date.  Direct seeding is not recommended.  The plants like to grow deep roots, therefore well drained, heavily composted soil is required.  Asparagus likes to be fed -- manure and compost are very important to successful crops.
