How to Grow and Cook Asparagus

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. Even though I garden for a few years now, I never planted asparagus because I know the house we live in right now won’t be our forever house, and once you plant asparagus, it will grow for years in the same spot, year after year, but you can’t move it and take it with you.
When we bought our 20 acres in the country, I know a bed of asparagus was priority number one. After all, it takes it a couple of years to grow to the point you can harvest it, so I figured by the time we finish building a house I’ll have asparagus ready to harvest.
Should I Plant Asparagus Seeds or Crowns?
Where to Plant Asparagus?
Next, separate your crowns. They will be a bit tangled with each other so do it carefully so you don’t damage the roots.
Spread the roots apart and place the crown in the furrow with the bud upright.
