5. My Asparagus Roots Crowns Where Easy To Plant and They Came up And Are Now 5
Feet Tall But They Keep Falling Over What Should I Do?
The Asparagus are growing really well. Please do not dig them up and plant them deeper. Not a good
idea as you could enter a virusus or disease to the soil and roots. Just best to place soil around the
base of the plant till they can stand on their own. The Asparagus roots were not planted deep
enough. You will probably have to add soil to the base of the plants several times.

6. I Use A Soaker Hose On My Asparagus Is This A Good Idea?
Any thing that can save time is a good idea. However, too much water will cause the root to rot.
Asparagus can take a drought better then they can handle too much water. At 100 -105 degrees in
August we water maybe 1 time a week. If we do not get rain for 2 weeks then I would make sure they
were watered at least once. Smaller waterings is better that long heavy frequent waterings. Soil
should be just moist.

8. I Have Been Told Asparagus Can Be Planted In The Fall?
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 turn a golden yellow color just like
the leaves on the trees. Then the leaves on the Asparagus ferns will turn brown and fall off. If
Asparagus planted on the fall they won't have a very good survilar rate.
