UC-157 F2 Asparagus Planting Instructions:
1. Timing: Start seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly into a nursery bed once the soil reaches 60°F. Patience is key—Asparagus is a long-term investment!
2. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep. If starting indoors, use peat pots to avoid disturbing the sensitive roots when transplanting to their permanent home.
3. Location: Choose a "Permanent Sanctuary" for your asparagus. It needs full sun and well-drained soil. This spot will be their home for two decades, so enrich the soil with plenty of organic matter.
4. Care: During the first two years, do not harvest! Let the plants grow into large, fern-like bushes to build energy in the crowns. Keep the bed well-weeded and consistently moist.
5. Harvesting: Starting in the third year, you can begin harvesting the "Zesty" spears in early spring. Cut them when they are 6-8 inches tall, before the tips begin to open or "flower."
