RE: Tasty garden fresh asparagus and a battle won!
I did not know about the asparagus beetles good to know for the future. Aimee and I rented a place that had an old asparagus patch a few years ago. It was nice to have fresh asparagus in the spring and early summer.
What size of asparagus plot do you have to grow that quantity of asparagus? Where we were renting the plot was old and I don't think it was as productive as it could be.
Yeah I had no idea either, but so far it seemed like we are rid of them!
Its soo tasty to have fresh asparagus, the flavour is so incredible.
We got two patches, one is 8 - 10 feet long and 3-4 feet wide and the other one is about 5 feet wide and 7 feet long. The spears it produces are crazy thick, about an inch in diameter. Before we moved in nobody was really harvesting the asparagus, its just been abandoned for a couple of years. But the patches are old.
