The readiness for harvest is indicated when the spears reach around 5 inches in height. It's crucial to cut the spears before they exceed this length, especially in warmer climates where higher temperatures can cause the spears to open early. To harvest, use a sharp knife or asparagus harvesting tool to cut the spears at or slightly below the soil surface. Avoid harvesting in the first year as this may prevent your crop from returning in the coming years. In the second year, harvest half the crop with a full harvest occurring in the third year. Harvesting should be done regularly during the asparagus season, typically in the early spring. After harvesting, the spears can be stored in the refrigerator for a short period, up to a week, to maintain their freshness. For longer-term storage, blanching and freezing the spears is a recommended method. Additionally, it's advisable to mow down the plant stalks after the foliage has died to promote a healthier growth cycle for the next season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Jersey Giant Asparagus Crowns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJersey Giant asparagus, developed by a largely male hybrid, is well-adapted to the South, making it a valuable addition to gardens in Southern states where it is recommended by ten university extension services. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for its sweet flavor and tender texture, this variety boasts high yields and produces very little to no seed, contributing to its popularity among gardeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, it shows excellent resistance to diseases such as rust, Fusarium, and crown rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure the best results, it's essential to cut the spears before they exceed 5 inches, especially in temperatures above 70 F. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant prefers well-worked, fertile, humus-enriched soil and reaches a height of 4 to 5 feet.

However, to maximize its effectiveness, choose a mulch that breaks down over time, such as straw or well-aged compost. This not only provides a continuous source of organic matter to the soil but also encourages the development of beneficial soil microorganisms. As the mulch breaks down, it contributes to the overall health of the asparagus bed, promoting a nutrient-rich environment for sustained growth and high yields.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 20.7517%;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"89\" width=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/Chelsea_Hafer_True_Leaf_Market_Writer.png?v=1687192575\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75.2483%;\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e- Chelsea Hafer, True Leaf Market Writer\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eJersey Giant Asparagus Crowns Per Package:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Asparagus Crowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Asparagus Crowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 Asparagus Crowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO Jersey Giant Asparagus Crowns are available for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/shipping-information\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Free Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on qualifying orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Hybrid Seeds","offers":[{"title":"5 Crowns","offer_id":41200306421875,"sku":"71624","price":7.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 Crowns","offer_id":41200306454643,"sku":"71649","price":10.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 Crowns","offer_id":41200306487411,"sku":"71650","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/asparagus-crowns-jersey-giant-Comp.jpg?v=1762450624"},{"product_id":"asparagus-crowns-mary-washington","title":"Asparagus Crowns - Spring - Mary Washington","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a pre-order item and is expected to ship in February to March for spring planting.

Typically, the second year marks the commencement of harvesting. But only take a few stalks. A full harvest of up to a third to half of the stalks is not expected until the third year. When the stems reach a height of 10-15 inches and are firm to the touch, they are ready for harvest. To harvest, grasp the stalk near the base, twist slightly, and pull the stem away from the crown. Avoid cutting the stems, as this can leave behind decaying material. It's essential to harvest selectively, especially in the early years, to allow the plant to establish itself fully. Removing any flowering spikes promptly will help prevent seed production, redirecting the plant's energy to robust stem development. For storage, refrigerate harvested stalks in a plastic bag. If not consuming immediately, rhubarb can be frozen. Remove the leaves before storage, as they are toxic. Regular harvests throughout the growing season contribute to the plant's health and productivity. Keep in mind the young stalks are the most tender. By following these guidelines, you'll enjoy a bountiful harvest of sweet, vibrant red stems from your Valentine Rhubarb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Valentine Rhubarb Crowns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne potential issue to be mindful of is crown rot, a condition that can be avoided by planting in well-drained soil and ensuring that the growing tips are not buried under compost.

The slow release of calcium from the eggshells contributes to the overall health of the plant, supporting its growth and enhancing the quality of the harvested stalks. Simply save your eggshells, crush them into small pieces, and sprinkle them around the base of your Canadian Red Rhubarb plants. This simple, cost-effective tip can contribute to the long-term vitality of your rhubarb patch.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 20.7517%;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"89\" width=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/Chelsea_Hafer_True_Leaf_Market_Writer.png?v=1687192575\" alt=\"\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;td style=\" width:\u003e \u003cem\u003e- Chelsea Hafer, True Leaf Market Writer\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ohioline.osu.edu\/factsheet\/hyg-1631\"\u003eOhio State University - Growing Rhubarb in the Home Garden\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCanadian Red Rhubarb Crowns Per Package:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Root Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Root Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO Canadian Red Rhubarb Crowns are available for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/shipping-information\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Free Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on qualifying orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"2 Crowns","offer_id":41200364781683,"sku":"71631","price":15.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 Crowns","offer_id":41200364814451,"sku":"71667","price":54.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/rhubarb-crowns-canadian-red-Comp.jpg?v=1762450627"},{"product_id":"horseradish-root","title":"Horseradish Root","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 Roots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a pre-order item and is expected to ship from March to April.

To begin the harvesting process, dig around the base of the plant and lift the large central root, along with as many smaller roots as possible. Once unearthed, cut down the foliage, leaving about an inch above the roots, and scrub the roots clean of dirt. Following the harvest, allow the roots to dry thoroughly. If you plan to consume the horseradish within a month, it can be stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic. Alternatively, for longer-term storage, keep the roots in damp sand or sawdust in a dark, cool root cellar, ensuring they are not exposed to light.

The crown should be at the surface level (uncovered), but the roots should be covered with the remaining 2-3 inches of soil. Water them in. Space rows 24-36 inches apart.

Asparagus is a perennial crop that requires at least two to three years before yielding a significant harvest. After planting, focus on weed control, as weeds can compete with young asparagus plants for nutrients and water. Water management is also crucial. Ensure that the soil remains moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging, which can lead to diseases like Fusarium rot. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying fertilizer during the first few years is essential for vigorous growth. Start with a balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage healthy foliage development​. Asparagus plants also benefit from mulch, which helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and gradually adds nutrients as it decomposes.

It is best to wait until the third year after planting to collect a full harvest, so the plants have time to become well-established. The ideal time to harvest is in early spring when the temperatures are cool, as the spears grow rapidly in warmer weather and become bitter. Harvesting can be done by either cutting the spears just below the soil surface using a sharp knife or snapping them off by hand where they naturally break. Be mindful not to overharvest, especially in the first 2-3 years, as this can weaken the plants and affect future production.

Add approximately 3 inches of well-rotted manure or compost to support growth in the coming years. Replace some of the removed soil to form a ridge down the trench with the peak at approximately surface level. The crown of the plant should be placed on the ridge and uncovered at the surface level. Cover the roots with about 2-3 inches of soil. Planting is usually done in the spring. Space each crown 12 to 18 inches apart to allow room for growth, and leave 18-24 inches or more between rows. This spacing ensures that the plants do not crowd each other, allowing for easy maintenance and healthy root development. As the shoots begin to grow, gradually continue to fill the remaining trench with soil a few inches at a time until the asparagus is level with the surrounding ground. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the establishment phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important thing to remember when growing asparagus is patience. Asparagus is a perennial crop that requires at least two to three years of growth before yielding a significant harvest. After planting, focus on weed control, as weeds can compete with young asparagus plants for nutrients and water. Ensure that the soil remains moist, especially during dry periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying fertilizer during the first few years is essential for vigorous growth. Start with a balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage healthy foliage development​. Asparagus plants also benefit from mulch, which helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and gradually adds nutrients as it decomposes. Allow the plants to grow into full ferns without harvesting during the first and second year to allow the plant time to gain energy for significant growth in the 3rd year​.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo blanch Jersey Knight asparagus, begin by mounding soil or mulch around the emerging spears as soon as they start to push through the soil in early spring. Build the mound to cover the spears completely, at least 8-12 inches tall. As the asparagus grows, continue to add more soil or mulch to ensure the spears remain covered. This prevents them from being exposed to sunlight, resulting in white, tender stalks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJersey Knight Asparagus Crowns in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJersey Knight is invaluable in the vegetable garden for its longevity and productivity. Once established, it provides years of harvests with minimal upkeep. Once established, the asparagus plant can produce for up to 15-20 years, providing long-term harvests from a single planting. Asparagus is most often grown as a utility plant as it doesn’t flower. However, it pairs well with other plants that reach their prime in summer and fall because asparagus emerges in the springtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Jersey Knight Asparagus Crowns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen harvesting asparagus, waiting until the spears reach about 6 to 8 inches in height but before the tips open is best. While some may be ready to harvest in the first year, waiting until the third year gives the plant enough energy to withstand being harvested and still grow larger. The ideal time to harvest is in early spring when the temperatures are cool, as the spears grow rapidly and become bitter in warmer weather. Harvesting can be done by either cutting the spears just below the soil surface using a sharp knife or snapping them off by hand. The typical harvest season lasts for 6-8 weeks each spring​. It is a good idea to leave 30-50% of the stalks unharvested and allow them to leaf out to prepare the plant for next year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Jersey Knight Asparagus Crowns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJersey Knight was bred at Rutgers University as part of a breeding program to develop asparagus varieties with improved disease resistance and yield.

The crowns should be planted at a depth where the roots are fully covered, but the crown is just above the soil surface (4-6 inches). Space plants 12-24 inches apart in rows spaced 1-4 feet apart, allowing the runners room to spread and develop new plants. Preferred row spacing recommendations can vary by planting style. A raised bed with well-draining soil will help prevent waterlogging, which can cause root diseases. If you are establishing a new strawberry patch, it’s recommended to directly sow or plant roots in a location with full sun exposure. Water well after planting to help the roots establish, and consider applying mulch to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first year after planting, managing runner growth by pinching off excess runners is advised to encourage the plants to focus on root and foliage development. Removing the flowers in the first year can also redirect energy into root establishment, resulting in a more productive second-year harvest. Regular weeding is necessary, as strawberries do not compete well with weeds. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer before planting and again in late summer to promote root development and prepare the plant for winter dormancy. Mulching with straw or other organic materials before winter protects the plants from cold damage. In regions with heavy snowfall, this helps to insulate the plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStoring Strawberry Roots Until You Are Ready to Plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may receive your strawberry roots before you are ready to get them into the ground.

They should be fully red when ripe and easily come off of the plants. Gently grasp the berry and twist or snap it off the plant, leaving the green calyx (cap) attached. If there is too much resistance, try again in a day or two. It’s important to pick the fruit as soon as it ripens to prevent overripening and reduce the risk of pest or bird damage. During peak season, you may need to harvest every 1-2 days to keep up with the ripening fruit. Harvesting is best done in the morning when the berries are cool, as this helps preserve their freshness and flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Honeoye June Bearing Strawberry Roots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honeoye strawberry was developed at the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York, in the late 1970s.

Rows should be spaced 1–4 feet apart to allow for easy maintenance. Recommended row spacing varies by planting style. When planting bare-root plants, place the roots in the soil (4-6 inches) so that the crown is just above the soil line, ensuring that the roots are fully covered but the crown is not buried, as this can lead to rot. Water the plants thoroughly after planting to help them establish. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots from temperature extremes. Be sure to water regularly, especially during the first growing season when the plants are establishing their root systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first year of growth, it is best to pinch off any blossoms to allow the plant to focus on establishing strong roots and runners. It might be painful for you in the short term but your harvest will be better next year! Controlling the runners is important to prevent overcrowding, so pinch off excess runners to maintain a manageable patch and promote better yields in subsequent years. Keep the area around the plants free from weeds, as strawberries do not compete well with them. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, ensures healthy root development. Applying a balanced fertilizer in late summer can promote better growth in the following season. Mulching with straw or other organic material in late fall helps protect the plants during the winter, especially in colder climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStoring Strawberry Roots Until You Are Ready to Plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may receive your strawberry roots before you are ready to get them into the ground. If they aren't leafing out much, then you can simply put them in the fridge until you are ready to plant them.

They are often used in edible landscapes, providing both aesthetic appeal with their white blossoms and functional value through fruit production. In garden design, they can be used as border plants or to fill spaces in raised beds, where their low-growing habit helps prevent weed growth.

Harvest the berries when they are fully red, firm, and glossy. Pick them by gently twisting the berry and snapping it off with the green calyx still attached. Regularly harvesting every 2-3 days during peak season ensures that the berries are picked at the right time and helps to prevent overripening or damage from pests. Store harvested strawberries in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and flavor. They are ideal for fresh eating, as well as for freezing and preserving into jams or jellies.

When planting bare-root strawberry plants, always start by amending the soil. Ensure the soil is well drained and incorporate organic matter such as compost to improve fertility. Plant the roots with the crown just above the soil level. The plant's crown is where the leaves meet the roots. Space the plants about 12-24 inches apart in rows spaced 12-48 inches apart (row width varies by planting style).
