We are now well into winter in NE Victoria (June 26) and only about 1/3 of the fern like fronds have yellowed off. They are not even woody/brittle yet. They were transplanted in early autumn from my sister's place. Should I cut them off or wait? If they don't die off completely through winter should I just leave them growing/dormant or should I cut them off regardless, say by end of July?

@annaandrews899 Жыл бұрын

Interesting! My asparagus is so tall it means over onto the ground. Does one need to prop it up over a fence or something?

Our asparagus grows year after year and our winters get to -40°C. Last winter we had 2 weeks of -40 and it went as cold as -50°. They came back like nothing happened and they live in a raised bed. Amazing hardy plant.

I planted 2 asparagus crowns. Then someone thought the garden bed was empty and turned over the soil. I couldn't find the crowns but now I have a huge amount of asparagus furn (which was a real surprise, having never seen this before). Good to learn that this is totally normal. What I gather from this video is that I should just leave it be to grow wild, go dormant, grow wild, go dormant for several years at least. (Adding compost is something I always do)

To neaten up the appearance of my asparagus fern bed, I loosely gather and tie the fronds together in bunches with garden jute. I staple the jute to the wood fence behind the bed or stake them to keep the bunches from falling over. When the fronds turn golden, I simply cut the bunches off at ground level and dispose of them.

Anyhoo, we were told to dig trenches in the bottom of the raised bed or about 8-12” deep, separate the roots and stretch along the trenches. That puts the crown way deeper than three” or 30 cm. I think I’ll dig the whole bed out and start again. Ugh. Also they told us to grow only male plants! Oh dear! I’m getting older now and have to do all my own work. Hard

All very good info! I am a little confussed about what you said about the berries. Those have the seeds in them so when you tell people to avoid them because they are poisonous they may throw them away. They need to drop down into the dirt to keep producing more.

Your points are good to start a conversation. Something to be mindful of is that asparagus is a perennial that can last anywhere for 10 to 30 years, so you actually don't want it to be self-sowing from its own seeds dropping on the ground and therefore competing with the parent plant. Hoping this explains :)

Cut spears just below the soil so that it will regrow. Never snap above the soil. Remember to allow some to go to seed and naturally die off the end of season

Hi Keeta, always a good idea to let some go to seed and naturally die off. But, once the spear has been cut, it will not regrow. Of course, other new spears will grow.

I just found your channel! Thank you for one of the most comprehensive, thorough and concise explanations I have seen. It is Very helpful in my 2nd year of growing Asparagus. i do have what I think may be an issue. I have my plants in a tall raised bed, and although I staked and "corralled" most of the plants so they wouldn't fall over, several large plants have fallen over to the ground at the soil level and others have bent in half and look like they are dying. Will they be ok, or should I put in more stakes and "corral" them too? Thank You for your time, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Asparagus like a lot of moisture, and doesn’t like weed competition. After several attempts in my Mid Atlantic US area with heavy clay soil, we got a nice bed going for several years. It stays fairly moist, but I couldn’t keep up with the weeds. 😤

Weeds can be a big problem. This is one of the reasons that I always keep a thick layer of mulch over and around my asparagus - it really does help to keep the weeds under control.
