Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Even though I waited too long to get these in the ground, all the spears came up and are doing very well. As the instructions stated, I did not harvest any this year so I will need to wait until next year before I can taste the yummy asparagus.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Easy to follow instructions. I was surprised it recommended waiting until it started growing to put compost/manure on. All of the books I have read said to put the compost in the trench first, but I followed the instructions it came with, and so far so good. About 65% have sprouted already and are still going strong. I'm hoping more will continue to sprout.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I ordered these late in the year, and left them in the fridge for a week before getting them in the ground- so I wasn't sure what to expect. These are the best asparagus crowns I've found! Very enthusiastic, very productive (of first year sprouts, of course) and very healthy stock all around. This was my first experience with Gardener's Supply, and I will definitely order from them again, and will recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I planted as instructed and so far, I have beautiful ferns growing! I am looking forward to next year when they will be edible. I didn't realize that asparagus does require a lot of space so I ended up giving quite a few away but overall, I am quite pleased.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The roots took off quickly. All of them were healthly, although I wished they were all uniformly large roots. Some of my roots (about 40%) are rather small, resulting in rather thin and scrawny
ferns. I have yet to see if this will affect the size of the asparagus come harvest year. I just planted them this spring upon receiving the roots.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I purchased 25 asparagus roots and proceeded to dig 25 deep holes in a section of our back yard (no room for a trench). Despite spacing planting over a couple weeks, every one of the roots survived and sprouted, and we gradually added compost to each one to foster growth. We are now letting the stalks go to seed this year as recommended. We're looking forward to ample asparagus in years to come. After hearing from friends that asparagus purchased elsewhere did not sprout, I would definitely recommend Gardener's Supply!

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I obtained asparagus crowns from a number of different suppliers this spring. I found the Crowns from Gardeners supply to be the healthiest and to have the highest rate of producing aspargus spears. (Germanation)I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and productivity of the product. I will use Gardeners supply for all my future asparagus crowns.
