No, "Buyer Be Ware" someone is selling you a song and dance. Asparagus go dormant
in the Fall. Actually when Sept comes and the leaves on the trees start to turn Yellow you
should stop watering your Asparagus. Let Mother Nature water them. Slowly they will

3. What Is The Difference Between A Nursery or Garden Shop and An Asparagus Farm?
A nursery or a garden shop and an Asparagus Farm have only one thing in common . . .
they all sell Asparagus. However, there are grave differences.
A nursery does not grow Asparagus. Asparagus are stored in bins and purchased from
wholesalers. Some Asparagus are planted outside and later dug up. Digging up Asparagus
with a shovel will destroy the long fibrous parts of the root. It takes special farm equipment
to extract an Asparagus root after being planted in soil.
A garden shop does not grow Asparagus roots either. They buy Asparagus and re-sell them.
And to keep the Asparagus from growing while at garden shop the Asparagus are sprayed
with a growth retardant. And seldom grow when planted in your garden.
Some may lead you to believe they dig there own Asparagus yet the Asparagus are stored
tin coolers. Asparagus roots are very perishable and will contract viruses and mold when
stored in a cooler.
Asparagus Farm . . . At our Asparagus Farm we grow our own Asparagus from seed. We
have special equipment to extract the roots with out damaging them. We don't use cooler.
The Asparagus roots stay in the fields until your shipping date. We guarantee that you will
receive fresh healthy Asparagus for your garden. So Buy Asparagus from the Asparagus
Gardener.
