Our patches are several years old and we started with asparagus sets that we planted. The patch consists of several rows about 50-70' long. It takes a little while, but eventually you will have it coming out of your ears!

We use a pressure canner to store most of the asparagus that we do not eat. Otherwise, we like to cook it in a skillet with some lemon juice drizzled on it as its cooking. We probably eat most of our asparagus this a way and really enjoy it.
