Asparagus officinalis
Asparagus is the earliest harvested vegetable in spring and Jersey is 7-10 days earlier than other varieties with nice thick stalks that are heavy producers the second year. Choose the location carefully when planting as a productive asparagus bed can last 15 years or longer. Plant Asparagus in loose well drained soil, in rows 4-6 feet apart at soil level in pot and 12-14 inches apart. Don’t cut shoots the first year, allow the foliage to grow, turn yellow and die on its own. Harvest spears the 2nd year when they ae 6-10 inches tall breaking them or cutting them off at ground level.
