Asparagus 101

Asparagus is a wonderful crop to grow in your garden. Find a permanent spot and enjoy the freshest taste of Spring as the spears emerge each year.

Asparagus takes some time to ‘get established’, so Red Wagon Plants in Vermont is offering this tutorial to help get you started.

Horticulturalist and Red Wagon employee Chad Donovan will explain the difference between planting dormant, bare roots and starting out with little seedlings. You will learn about what kind of soil they like, and how to treat them in their delicate first year so that you can have the best asparagus patch ever. Once asparagus is well established, it is easy to grow and will provide you with more and more each year.
