Growing Note: "Asparagus is a perennial crop that requires patience. In the first two years, your goal is to build a massive, healthy root system (crown). Resist the urge to harvest too heavily early on, and you will be rewarded with a bountiful, self-sustaining harvest for 15+ years. For the best start, consult our 'Precision Planting Blueprint' regarding soil depth and pH management for perennial beds."
