About Asparagus Mary Washington Great Heirloom Vegetable
"Planting Guide for Mary Washington Asparagus Seeds: Site Selection: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot in your garden where the soil is fertile and slightly acidic. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 12-18 inches. Remove any weeds and incorporate plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil structure and fertility. Planting Depth: Dig trenches that are 6-8 inches deep and about 18 inches wide. Space the trenches 4-5 feet apart to allow ample room for the asparagus crowns to spread. Planting Asparagus Crowns: Place the asparagus crowns at the bottom of the trenches, spaced 12-18 inches apart. Spread the roots out and cover them with 2-3 inches of soil. Fertilization: Before planting the crowns, incorporate a balanced fertilizer into the soil. After planting, top-dress with compost or a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Watering: Water the asparagus crowns thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the asparagus plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Support: As the asparagus ferns grow, provide support by installing stakes or a trellis to prevent them from flopping over. Weed Control: Keep the asparagus bed free of weeds, as they can compete with the asparagus plants for nutrients and water. Patience: Asparagus is a perennial crop that takes time to establish. Avoid harvesting any spears during the first year to allow the plants to develop a strong root system. You can start harvesting sparingly in the second year and gradually increase the harvest as the plants mature.
