I love the way she assumed that I have better use of my time.

I'm now a fan of Barb! This is fantastic!

Thank you so much Barb, just bought some today at Walmart and did not know what I was doing. Your video was very informative and helpful.

You're a great teacher!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge... I thought is was very informative. Pretty excited about starting my patch here in Washington State. 😊

Holy cow! Those sprouts are magnificent! 😍

Incredible! I've never seen a finer specimen, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

Anybody else tripping on how huge does asparagus are? You can make a whole meal out of one !!

Loved this video!😄

Thanks for the video and for being so direct about the upfront work required. I tried growing asparagus a few times in the past, but just planting them in the ground as I would a tomato plant, and getting no results. I thought it was because of the consistency of my soil, which looks just like your's. This year I am trying it your way. I only started eating asparagus about 20 years ago when I lived in a region of Germany where the asparagus harvest season is major event. All the restaurants service it as the main course, not a side dish. One particular hotel had a special where everything from the cocktails to the dessert was made from asparagus. There was a week long asparagus that culminated in crowning an asparagus queen. But there we mostly ate white aspagus, which was sold at the stores with corresponding grade levels.

Thankyou for this video..I have planted mine in large pots and they did well last year..I have moles that ate the ones from the 1st time I tried..I had to use tomato cage ..they grew tall & beautiful..be blessed & safe✝️🙏

I have 2 very old asparagus beds, they are both beginning to fail. Thank you for this information, I shall carefully dig out the roots and re plant.

You are adorable and lovely! Thank you for providing this content.

I just planted my first 10 roots but will have to go and dig it up because i put it in wrong, Thanks for the video and explaining how to do it.

You are soooooo informative thank you so much for this info I will continue to watch you.. thank you sooo much I'm also going to order from u instead of online

Thanks Mrs.Barb. My Asparagus roots have been in my raised bed UPSIDE DOWN for 5 days now.

Thanks so much for your experience and well teaching

Thanks for the information. I learned a lot. I started a bed of asparagus this year and am excited to get it established for harvesting in a couple years.

Thank you, great information. Volume got better as your presentation went along.

Thank you this video was very clear concise and informative delivered in an very easy to understand and follow format very nicely done keep up the great work this topic is so important these days

Thank you so much! I now know how to plant my asparagus roots.

Great planting video, and very accurate. You are supposed to plant them a foot down, and NOT on a hill level with the ground . Two thumbs up !

Very helpful.

Great explanation! thank you very much.

That compost is epic!

Good i planted yesterday. Easy to dig out and turn around :D

Great video instructions. Thank you,!

I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!!

thanks a bunch! your garlic looks great!

A very well presented discussion.

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. You seem very passionate about sharing what you know and I am so excited to plant my asparagus this year. We bought 5 crowns from our local greenhouse. I had no idea that Jersey Knight (giant) got so big! I didn't know that asparagus got that big. I hope it tastes good. PS. I'm gonna dig my trench by hand. It only needs to be 5 feet long so it will probably only take 10 minutes. Glutton for punishment indead! Haha

I like you Attitude a Realist..

Just subscribed. You are very informative and funny!

You were able to fill in the blank on some missing info I had about asparagus thanks!

i planted jersey giant and 8 years later up 30 shoots per crown sticking out of the ground looking at you at one time ,, it's a wonderful sight. ,,but like she said you must wait and wait

Wow, that's some crazy facts! Thanks for sharing all that info. Great job. Just fascinating. I've got more respect for asparagus now, lol. Going to your site for the hook up!

I just bought some roots last week so thank you so much for the information!

Thank you for your video it was very informative.

Thanks madam, for a very nice video! I just ordered 20 Jersey varieties and am going to plant them as soon as they arrive. Isn't 15-18" too deep? It means the spears have to grow that much from the crown before reaching the surface and then 8-10" before ready for harvesting. When harvesting, you leave the lower part of the spears below the surface behind which will just die out. Isn't it a waste? We are not supposed to dig when harvesting since it may damage other spears.

Thanks your video was very very helpful

텃밭에 마늘도 보이고요 아스파라거스가 충실하네요 자라기 좋은 환경인가 봅니다. 품종이 워싱턴이네요

She’s hilarious. Very informative.

I want to know if I plant my aspharus the right way great video

Thank you for the excellent video!! Can you grow them in part- sun area.

I never knew it took that long to grow

My Bae oots look like yours and I Was sure they were dead. But if that looks right to you I guess I'll go ahead and plant them

Thank you!

Thank you

I wish I would have seen your video first , all the other videos say to make a trench 8 inchs deep and 8 to 12 inchs wide , and they said nothing about mounding the sprouts every two weeks as they grow ... thank you much for your video , but I already planted my asparagus .... just wish I would have seen your video first .

Nice discussion, feel like I can do asparagus now but curious to see a video on harvesting the seed or letting it go to seed. And also how the stores harvest the 1 year and 2 year roots gardeners purchase to get there asparagus growing 🤔

Thank you madam for sharing the valueble information pls let me where can I get the Asparagus Juicy joy roots / seeds. I stay in India.

wow, that's imazing. i want to buy some seed jersey knight

you should put a link to your website here or in the description.

Con chào cô.măng tây nhà cô đẹp và ngon quá ạ

Nice and informative video. I think I'll make an asparagus bed and see how it turns out. Just bought a house and plan on staying awhile. Can I plant both strains in the same bed or will one take over the other?

Love this video, what a nice woman she is!

Plant 15 to 18 inches deep? Is this right? I bought asparagus from Johnnys seeds and the instructions said plant 5 to 8 inches deep

Excellent video. Thank you so much! I have some questions: 1. We planted our asparagus some years ago but they don't seem to spread out to the areas between the original trenches. Do they need that space between to support the crowns in each trench? Or would I be okay to add new trenches between the originals to get some more crowns started. 2. There are some pretty nice asparagus plants growing wild near us that have probably been producing there for decades. If I were to dig some up and replant them, would you expect them to start up again like new roots? Or if they are that old, are they already nearing the end of their productive lives? Thanks for your kindness in providing all this wonderful advice!

Greetings from Puerto Rico, I just got to see your video today because I was looking for information about how to plant asparagus. I have two questions, first, what kind of mycorrhizal fungi are you using? Second, what would happen if I plant 20 crowns in an 8' by 32" bed? I ask because I just bought 20 crowns and the space I have is 8 feet long by 33 inches wide.

Other people say NOT to bury the crown. Why so deep?

after I cover it the first time, do I water it at all?

You're a good teacher. Thank you. Would you have any insight as to how pH sensitive asparagus may be? My soil is naturally rather acidic so a root planted at 18 in, even if amended at planting time will probably become acidic after a few years.

Very informative thank you! Do you know how long the dried roots will last out of the ground? I have a rented home currently but I don’t want to plant until I’m in a long term place, I’m wondering if they will last a few years before planting?

What if I didn't back fill right away & it started to Bush out? Should I trim & start back filling or just back fill? Please & thank you

You never mentioned watering. I am interested in planting asparagus where there is no irrigation available, perhaps in shaded areas. But, it they won't survive without supplemental watering, I won't bother planting. Thoughts?

I might have missed it, but how do you space the roots apart from each other?

Omg I planted them wrong! I gotta go back out there and flip them lol Wish I'd watched this first

How do you get your spears so WIDE?? Also, do you think that really old crowns will make thinner spears as they're getting in a way, crowded?

Uh oh, I planted a bunch with the roots mostly down, am I in big trouble and need to risk digging up and replanting?

Can you plant asparagus next to onions or potatoes? I just planted my asparagus beds BUT I was planning on putting my onions (not in the rows) but next to the bed. Also my potatoes next to the onions!

How do d you amend the soil before planting the asparagus?

How do I arrange to order. The site does not pull up when I go to it. Thank you.

What do I do with shoot that grows from each plant while I’m waiting for the plant to mature for two plus years? Right now they look like small bushes.

I got a set of 3 from Wal-Mart 2 years ago. I tried to plant them today but found the roots were brittle and broke when I tried to see spread them over the ridge. I put soil over them anyway. Am I wasting my time?

How late can I plant asparagus? My old bed finally died after 20+ years but here it is the end of May and it’s been so wet here I haven’t been able to plant anything! I live in zone 6.

Oh god I planted my asparagus upside down

Well crap, I buried mine upside down. Wish I would have found this video first..

I have the property but don't have the money or a lot of time. My property is pretty fertile so I figured I would just dig a hole for each one. I then put soil in each hole with each root. The babies are 2 months old and about 7 inches high. So I guess at this point I do not know what to do. Because I did not dig the hole deep enough to keep adding soil.

Lol. I just planted like 45 of them.

When will you have plants for sale? Is this a seasonal order?

Are side shoots edible if you cut them before they bush out?

My asparagus reseeded it self will it eventually produce new spears

Jake brake!

Can you eat those side shoots? Also, how do you propagate asparagus? I know there are seeded varietys and seedless. But can you split a an established crown in two?

I've planted 10 asparagus and only one has come up in over a month

Wish I could have finished watching but I couldn't hear you.

Colossal

I planted cuttings of asparagus lol

its not easy being green.

So it takes a lot to plant smh I think I planted mine wrong

Sh!!!!!!!!!!t, I planted them upside down the other day. LoL.

Oh, no! You plant the root too much deep! About 2 inches of cover of the earth on top of the crowns is adequate, I think.

Volume too low.

Im sure I planted mine wrong.

is marry washington thin ?

So I did plant mine wrong smbh. Lol

Rent a backhoe for a 15" trench??😂😂😂😂😂

What a waste of time. Long winded, reptations, diverting to garlic and one minute of actual planting.
