GARDEN TIME
Now that fresh asparagus li ap
pearing in the grocery stores, we
are beginning to receive inquiries
about growing this crop. Can
asparagus be grown successfully
In North Carolina? Yes, it can.
When should it be planted? In
the eastern part of the state it is
Cest to plant in November or De
cember, but may be planted in
February or March. In the west
ern part of the state it is prob
ably best to plant in March or
April.
Although' asparagus is original
ly started from seed, the gardener
or small grower usually buys one
year old crowns for setting. These
may be obtained from any large
seed store or asparagus grower.
Fifty crowns should provide
plenty of fresh asparagus for the
, average family. The Mary Wash
ington variety is recommended.
Asparagus is a perennial crop
and should be productive for more
than ten years if given good care.
Because it is a perennial crop,
grass and weeds may be a prob
lem - especially if you have Ber
muda grass in the garden. There
fore, thorough preparation is ne
cessary before planting. The
crowns are set about 18 inches
apart in a board furrow or trench
6 to 8 inches deep. The fleshy roots
are spread out at the bottom of
the trench with the buds up and
covered with soil to a depth of 3
to 4 inches. When the spears come
through this soil the rest of the
trench may be filled. If the soil
is sandy, the entire trench may
be filled at planting time. If fer
tilizer is used it should be thor
oughly mixed with the soil at the
bottom of trench at least a week
before planting. Well rotted stable
manure would also be desirable
as a fertilizer.
Asparagus should not be cut at
all until a year after planting
and then only lightly. The second
year the harvest may be unlimit
ed. The cutting season will extend
about 8 weeks. The bed or row
should be thoroughly worked
each spring before the spears appear.
