    They are only sold in early spring, most often from a mail order nursery, and it's already too late to plant in the southern half of the US. I'm not saying you can't get any, but the optimum planting time for Iowa is April 15 - May 15.

      Yeah, you're right, Janet. I looked it up and, according to Clemson University, the time to plant asparagus in coastal SC ended in February, central SC planting ended in early March, and the Piedmont area ended in late March. It's now mid May.
