However, not as big as the Giant. They are tall and have pointed / round heads at harvest. The Purple Passion are

Jersey Supreme Asparagus
I planted Jersey Supreme.                                                                  Here's my Asparagus  garden. And here's my
Asparagus and Brown Elephant storey. I wanted  Asparagus plants were going to be productive care-free easy  to
grow. I was told that the "key" to growing Asparagus was the "soil "and "watering". And that the Asparagus would
grow well as long as I provided the proper soil and water.

And as it turned out  I tilled my soil added compost and some sand and had a pH of 7,0. I watered the Asparagus
once and sometimes twice a week. If the soil was moist I just let it be.

So all in all . . . . It doesn't matter which variety you choose as long as you prepare the soil and water just moderately.
The Jersey Supreme produce an  average size spear that are sweet and tender. I added some Jersey Giants
Asparagus in another area and I like those as well. The Giant were a thicker spear yet still tender and sweet.
Soon after I cut the spears off in a couple of weeks others appeared.

I planted a natural barrier of Garlic around my Jersey Supreme  and Jersey Giant Asparagus. The Garlic keeps out
garden pests -- bugs and rabbits. It's the smell of the Garlic that garden pests don't like. The good thing is that the
Asparagus does not absorb the Garlic smell. Elephant Garlic or Jumbo Garlic works best.
"I planted Jersey Giant. I canned mine so I could enjoy
Asparagus  during the winter. Look closely at the spears in the
jars. The are not chewed on and don't have holes in them.  I
planted Garlic in between the asparagus . The garlic works as a
natural barrier at keeping bugs  and rodents out of my garden."
                  
                       
 Asparagus -  Georgia  Community Gardeners
We are Community Gardeners. We gather together to plant Asparagus and other veggies. Here we can
enjoy each other in a peaceful non stressful environment. And grow some Asparagus for someone who
can't . . .It surely is a joyful experience.

We grew Jersey Knight Asparagus last season. They grew very well for us. The Jersey Knight are thinner
than the other varieties. They are sweet and tender. Tye is stir fry specialist. He secrets to sweet tender
Asparagus is olive oil, oregano, high cooking temperature, butter and sea salt. We plant garlic in between
the Asparagus to protect our Asparagus. So far it has helped a lot.

The ladies like to make salads and use the Jersey Knight for pickling.  John breads the spears and makes
extra for the freezer.

The Jersey Knight produce a few less spears per plant than the other varieties. The Jersey Knight variety
make about 5 spears per plant. However they are not already at the same time for harvesting. The ones
that are not picking size ( 7 - 9 inches) will be ready in a week or so. The Jersey Knight are sweet and
tender as all the other varieties of Asparagus. Really doesn't matter which variety of Asparagus you plant.
Just prepare you soil properly and all varieties are carefree and easy to grow. If you have clay in your
gardening soil. Remove it as best you can and fill in with compost and sand. Do the "water drainage perk  
test"  when your done. The Test goes like this . . . dig a hole 1 foot deep and 2 feet wide fill the hole up
with water. Then time it -- if there is water standing in the hole 2 hours later you will need to adjust the
drainage in your gardening area. Adjusting  the drainage is easily to do sometimes just adding sand will
make the difference.

Looks like the vote is in . . .  we will be adding  Jersey Supreme and Jersey Giant  to our Community
Garden in 2012.

We always grow more than we can use so we can give to those that can't not garden.
Start a Community Garden in your area and enjo
y meeting new gardening friends.

experience.

Thank goodness my Jersey King Asparagus didn't take
off and go with them.
       Heirloom Asparagus
I planted Jersey Giant.    Here's my Asparagus  Garden. And here's my Asparagus Gardening story. As you can see the
Jersey Giants produce thick spears. Also the Jersey Giant variety produce about 4 spears per root. Now you many think
that your getting less than say from the Jersey Supreme variety . For example, if you count the number of spears on the
Jersey Giant variety  and count the number of spears on the Jersey Supreme there is a difference. But the thing is that if
you gather 7 spears from the Supreme variety and took 4 of the Jersey Giant variety the total weight of each asparagus
variety would asparagus would weight the  same. So in weight you are actually getting the same amount. The difference
is the Jersey Giant variety is thick and the Jersey Supreme the spears are more thin and slender.
The Jersey Giant variety since they are thicker can take the intense heat from the grill or baking in the oven and
canning. Some may argue that  the "bigger the spears "  are tougher and not as sweet. However the University of PA
proved that theory to be a myth. Thicker does not mean tougher. The Jersey Giant are just as sweet and tender as the
other varieties of Jersey Asparagus. Here's the most recent research on the tough guy.

I have to support Jay's notion on prepare the soil properly and water moderately and you will have a very "successful"
asparagus garden. And add some Asparagus variety to your garden. Add some thick ones, some thin ones, and some
average size ones. It will be a challenge not to over eat. If you do you may turn green like me.

First Time Home  Asparagus Gardener - Plan On Growing Heirloom Asparagus
Ed and Carol we are first time Asparagus Gardener from Illinois. We are planting the Heirloom Asparagus. We have
about an average size back yard. We got tired of mowing the grass. And wanted to put something in the yard that
would benefit our family as well as something that was fun to do. So we got back into gardening. We read about all
the Jersey Asparagus varieties and like them all. We figured that we wanted to do something a little different.

We wanted to grow Organic and we wanted go grow everything the was not a hybrid. We are planning on putting in
the Heirloom Asparagus. The thing that we liked most about  the Asparagus varieties at the Asparagus Gardener -
Farm was the natural way the Asparagus Gardener - Farm grows their Asparagus Varieties. All Asparagus is chemical
free and fertilized with the Asparagus Tea which is all organic and has no chemicals added. Furthermore it  can be
used on all garden veggies and flowers.
That excited us the most. So we are thrilled to start the Spring 2012 with planting our Heirloom Asparagus.
The Heirloom Asparagus variety are natural ( a wild asparagus variety) - no genetic changes. So we know we will get
some thick spears and some thin spears all in the same Asparagus patch. We plan on planting the Asparagus right in
front of the bean poles. Now that may not be the best place for the Asparagus but I figured that the ferns from the
Asparagus would shade the Ever bearing Strawberry plants from  the afternoon sun. We  are hoping for the best.
  Purple Passion Asparagus
"Gardening is my passion. It is a nice contrast from the
busy hectic week at the office. My Asparagus beds have
blessed me year after year with great harvest. I have all
the varieties of Jersey Asparagus growing".
"I am adding Purple Passion this season. My family can't
believe there is such a color for Asparagus. So I can't
wait to plant and for the Purple Passion Asparagus to
come up."
Danny from Grapevine, Texas.
I like Purple Passion Asparagus. Easy to grow and plentiful. I use the Asparagus
Tea from early Spring till Fall. When Fall comes I don't feed the Asparagus any
more as they are preparing to go dormant. The Tea feeds the Asparagus roots and
the garlic  protects the spears  from bugs and rodents
