How to grow asparagus from seed

Tips, Tricks

1. no wonder asparagus is so expensive!
2. The asparagus seeds I saved had a 100% germination rate too :) but the Mary Washington I purchased had a terrible germination rate!
   My asparagus look like feathery ferns by now - very tall too. I've had them under a light but am moving them outside during the day. It's supposed to freeze this weekend, but after that all looks clear. I'll get them out there next week I guess.

3. I'm so glad you demonstrated this! I had wondered if it would be hard to start them from seeds.
4. Nice way to start but how long did it take for them to germinate.
5. Awesome!
6. What is a hoogle bed?
7. Very excited about asparagus.  The crowns I planted this year are the very ones I ever planted.  I hope I get at least two or  three crowns to sprout.  Thanks for the info about planting the seeds.

11. Perfect timing, just planted mine. How much light do asparagus need? I have them under grow lights but am running out of room. Wondering if a south facing window in MI would be enough? Any thoughts?
