As a an American I have to say that British people speak so beautifully and proper no matter what ethnicity. It is a pleasure to listen to compared to some of the butchery of the english language in the states. Thanks for such a delightful and informative video. I just received a box of roots from Burpees and ready to years of harvests.

I always leave the tops on through the winter. I live in a cold northern area in Canada. The dried fronds catch the snow which provides insulation through the winter. In the spring when the first spears are emerging I pull out the old tops to give the spears room to push up. I have had the same patch for 40 years.

This is truly the most informative tutorial on growing asparagus I have come across. Thank you so much.

Perfect! Very informative without being long-winded! Gonna prep beds tomorrow afternoon. Thanks so much 👍

Thanks for the video. I've read alot about planting asparagus but couldn't quite get my head around the written instructions. Now I can clearly see how to plant the crowns.

Thank you! I've read a multitude of instructions on how to do this but no one has ever written instructions that allowed me to picture it fully. Seeing you do it - now I understand what the writers were trying to say.

This has been the best informational video on asparagus so far. Thanks!

This has been the best video for planting Asparagus.

This is the best video I’ve found in planting asparagus! Thank you!

Thank you for your wonderful instruction! I started my own patch of 30 crowns, and they have begun to come up!

Definitely 10 out of 10 for clarity and inspiration! Thanks

You produced a great tutorial. I've always wondered how it grows. It grew wild on my grandparents farm

I've watched a few Vids on Asparagus now and this is by far the best one yet - thanks

Thank you, for such a clear, step by step process! I'm inspired.

If you have enough soil to grow Asparagus it is best to plant them in good drainage soil and as they start to emerge ,hill them higher ,just like Potatoes get hilled if they start to show above ground . In Germany they keep adding soil to the existing trenched Asparagus I believe they use a Tractor and Plow to do this because of the huge size of their Fields but they also cover the Asparagus with sheets of Tarpaulin or the like ! I saw this in Germany in May of 2013 by just observing this from a Train that I was traveling in . The idea of covering the Asparagus with Tarpaulin or Sheets is to stop them from turning Green ! It must be quite a process and time consuming effort to Commercially grow this White Asparagus but it is worth it in the long run ! I was never one for any Asparagus and here in Australia we only get the green shoots in Jars and fresh from the Green Grocer ! I have never seen White Asparagus in Australia but it is available but mainly for the Upper Crust High Society Restaurants . White Asparagus prepared and Cooked properly is absolutely Yummy !My wifey and I found that out in May 2013 . We were both hooked on the Creamy White Asparagus Soup and as a Side Dish with the Main Meal when we tasted it in Germany ! I DO NOT eat Green Asparagus anymore , just waiting till I can find some white one . They don't call it " White Gold " for nothing in Germany in their Asparagus Season ! Here in Australia the season for this Asparagus is from September till January . I Googled it to find that out ! Not very Commercially based though ! The talk is though that Tasmania has the Ideal Soil Conditions for it !

I love way you do😙😚😚

Great Video! Thanks for this video. :)

That was great, thanks.

Hi In the video, there are so many growing, not harvesting any at all this year? I saw in other comments, you mentioned leaving the foliage at the end of the season, which is May. I’m a bit confused, please correct me if I misunderstood. And your video gave me a lot of idea, appreciate it.

awesome

Brits often excel in good logical explaining of things...this vid gets the award 4 that ...if only by the many positive comments...Don't need to get to other tutorials now, but 1 Q...do these plants need a high PH pls? 🏆 Thanks loads!!! Cheers for Spring 2 u!!! 🌞🐰🐣🍀🐝 subed👍

What a lovely lady

Where to get the roots??? İt is the 1st time i saw this usually it is a packet of seeds we see in nuseries??? Thank you for your explanations

Sheltered sunny location, how much shade should/can they get? Our best sheltered spot gets shade for about 6 hours during the summer from about dinnertime on (it's the time it blocks out the sun when we eat dinner on our deck!).

Would you recomend planting asparagus in or over a natural spring?

how soon will they start to grow after i plant them, i planted some 2 weeks ago and no growing yet.. any tip?

Hey , whittle4u . If any of you understand the German Language , you needto watch their KZfaq Videos on how they grow Asparagus . It is white . The Beds are Hilled and covered with White Plastic . I had White Asparagus with a White Sauce as a side dish with my main meal in a Restaurant in Germany in May 2013 . I will never go back to eating that Green Asparagus . The White one Tastes Phenomenal . It tastes a Hell of a lot better than the Green one ever did . Try it . Check it out , even if you Do Not understand the German Language, just watch the Video . " Spargel - Anbau bis zur Ernte ". Or something like that .

strong woman!

Alanis morissette growing asparagus! Isnt it ironic?

Could you let me know how many crowns I should plant for a four person family? Thought they need to be harvested at the right time, so too many could be a problem I am guessing.

I have recently bought crowns that say they are 2 years old. When I plant them this year, will this be their growing year? And next year I can harvest?

Can u plant in raise beds and buckets?

I am wanting to plant asparagus in my garden with other veggies. However I have been told that you need a special place in the garden because they spread like crazy. Is this true and can you manage them in simple rows like you displayed.

Can you tell me what is productivity of one root aspragus??

What about growing asparagus from seeds?

what can be done about asparagus beetles?

What do I do the second year and onward when all the dirt is up to the top?

Did u wear that coat for a whole season ????

Plant them deeper than this.

Can Asparagus grow in zone 4a?

strong woman

Hello Can you use seeds?

I was sure I'd done this correctly but when my asparagus came up they seemed short and stunted. The ground is fertile and there is plenty of light and they were given the right amount of water? Me and my husband eat them for breakfast most mornings, and I wanted to be able to stop buying them from the shop

I just bury them in a shallow trench and let Mother Nature do the rest.

I like the video, but asparagus grows in the fekkin ditch with all kinds of grass and weeds around; those plants need No tending: just harvesting;sure! they have been there for years and nobody planted them with such care

I thought they were supposed to be planted deep.

idk why ya'll make it so hard. THERE VERY HARDY, HARD TO KILL EM! i don't do any thing to mine for 8 yrs > i even mow over them he heee> IT takes a bunch of them to make a meal

thumbs down...she won't say where she is so the date as ''march '' is irrelevant.
