The asparagus has started to grow here, which means it’s time to harvest. We moved the asparagus beds in about 2018 – I think – from next to one of the greenhouses out to our northeastern garden bed. The plot next to the greenhouse had been created using less than ideal soil so it had terrible drainage and poor growing conditions. Our main garden beds have much better soil, are hilled for drainage, and a lot more room. The new location is also very much out of the way. Which is useful for asparagus as it’s really not that pretty of a vegetable. It spends most of it’s life looking this this. And then the fronds all fall over in the wind and block the walkways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asparagus crowns reach a certain age they need to be divided as the center tends to die back as it spreads outwards. Ours were about 6 years old when we moved them so we divided them when we replanted them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, keep in mind, my father is the only one who really loves asparagus. My mother had been willing to eat some occasionally, but not anymore; I’ve never liked it. It’s not a common vegetable here – at least not where we are – so not even the neighbors are interested. When we had two dozen plants or so my father had a surplus. After divided crowns got re-established we now have nearly 100 productive plants. Asparagus grows amazingly well here – with a long harvest season to boot. Which means in a year of good weather we can produce an astonishingly large amount of asparagus. With only one person to eat it. We are starting asparagus season this year with frozen asparagus still in the freezer from last year. According to my father it is indeed possible to have too much of a good thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporada de Esp\u00e1rragos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

El esp\u00e1rrago inici\u00f3 a crecer, entonces es tiempo a cosechar. Mudamos la cama de esp\u00e1rrago cerca 2018 – creo – desde una cama al lado de un invern\u00e1culo hasta una cama de la quinta al noreste. La cama al lado del invern\u00e1culo creamos con tierra mala – con greda y sin drenaje. Las camas principales de la quinta tiene suelo mucho mejor, est\u00e1n en lomos por el drenaje, y son mucho m\u00e1s grande. La cama nueva est\u00e1 afuera de la vista, que es muy importante como esp\u00e1rrago, no es una verdura muy linda a la vista. Pasa casi todo el verano como esto. Y despu\u00e9s todas las frondas caen en el viento y bloquean los paseos. Es feo hasta el invierno cuando podemos limpiar todo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cuando las coronas de esp\u00e1rrago tienen edad suficiente, necesitan dividirlos, como el centro empiezan a morir y los lados siguen a crecer. Nuestras coronas de esp\u00e1rrago tuvieron alrededor de 6 a\u00f1os cuando mudamos todos y al momento del cambio de cama dividimos todas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tenga en cuenta, mi padre es el \u00fanico en la familia que encanta el esp\u00e1rrago. Mi madre com\u00eda algo antes, pero no m\u00e1s. Yo nunca le gusto. No es una verdura muy com\u00fan ac\u00e1 – al menos no en esta zona – entonces los vecinos no est\u00e1n interesados tan poco. Cuando tuvimos m\u00e1s o menos dos docenas de plantas, mi padre tuvo un super\u00e1vit. Despu\u00e9s que dividimos y las coronas se restablecieron, tenemos casi 100 plantas. Esp\u00e1rrago crece muy bien ac\u00e1. Muy, muy bien. Con una temporada muy larga. Significa que en un a\u00f1o con tiempo lindo podemos tener una cantidad de esp\u00e1rrago impresionante. Con solamente una persona que consume. Empezamos la temporada de esp\u00e1rrago con esp\u00e1rrago del a\u00f1o pasada en el freezer todav\u00eda. \u00a1Seg\u00fan mi padre, s\u00ed, es posible tener demasiado de una cosa buena!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
