About Asparagus
Asparagus is a long-term investment — it takes 2-3 years to establish but then produces for 20+ years.
Plant crowns in a permanent bed — asparagus cannot be moved. Do not harvest for 2 years while it establishes. Top-dress with compost each autumn. Allow ferns to grow after harvest to feed the roots.
Gardening in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan has a cold dry continental climate. Regina and Saskatoon are Zone 3b-4a. Cold winters are offset by long summer days and intense sunshine. Focus on cold-hardy crops and short-season varieties.
