Listen "Ep. 116 - Asparagus: Prepare in Fall, Plant in Spring"
Episode Synopsis
Asparagus is a fantastic perennial, with healthy beds lasting as long as 30 years. Asparagus crowns are planted in spring, but the fall is when you want to prepare the bed. So, today we’ll go over everything you need to know about planting and growing asparagus so you can get your beds prepped in time and place those orders for spring crowns.
In the question of the week, we’re talking another favorite perennial – strawberries! Lots of questions around winter requirements these juicy beauties, so I’ll give you the lowdown on what you should be doing for them on the off season. In the DRL we’re talking down time, Southern Living, and Elyse Myers; and I’ve got a correction from last week. Let’s dig in!
