| Asparagus | |
| Culinary Usage: Asparagus is disgusting. Wrap it with bacon and fry it. Then it'll taste like bacon and frying oil, not like asparagus. Whew! Crisis averted. Seeding Time: N/A (in central Maryland) Transplanting Time: MAR-APR (in central Maryland) Harvest Time: Spring (in central Maryland) Spacing: 1 foot Gardening Tips: You're not supposed to cut any stalks the fist year, and only the strongest the second year. Additionally, over the first winter, don't cut back the asparagus in winter until stalks are yellowed and/or berries have appeared. Mulch over winter. Fertilizer Notes: Fertilize with high-nitrogen fretilizer (from card received with my asparagus, from Vermont Bean Co?) Preservation Notes: Matt's Garden Notes: I am growing Jersey Supreme Hybrid.
