Instructions
Start asparagus seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost in your area. Soak seeds overnight in room temperature water before planting to hasten germination. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist , but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment. Expect a light crop in the second year, full crop in the third year.

Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Harvest, when stems reach 20 cm (8 in) and buds at the tips, are still tightly compressed.
- Soil moisture is important for good root and fern growth in asparagus for the current growing year and to be healthy for the next year.
- Asparagus plants can last up to 15 years - carefully choose the planting location. A mature plant can produce spears for up to 6 weeks.

"Super :)"
Every seed sprouted
"The good news is every single one of the (I think it was like 18-30 seeds) sprouted. The downside is I expected failure so I planted too many in one pot XD led to some overcrowding deaths due that were entirely my fault. The asparagus plants that survived my mess have been growing for months now and are very healthy."
Good investment you will not be dissapointed.
"Did very well worth the wait. Looking forward to future harvests for years to come."
