If you've never thought about growing asparagus, you are truly missing out.
This beautiful and delicious plant is easy to manage, and, if do it right, will keep coming back, on its own, for twenty or more years!

If you want to start asparagus from seed, now is the time to do it. Keep in mind, however, that if you do start it by seed, it will take 2-3 years before you can start harvesting. You can't be short-sighted here. With asparagus, you're in it for the long haul. You do have the option of buying some asparagus that has already developed for at least a year to cut down on your wait time, but it's definitely more rewarding to start the seeds yourself!
