ASPARAGUS CITY!!



















Hello, and welcome to the Crown Nursery blog.



It's Asparagus City here at Crown Nursery - our new season stock of Asparagus has arrived - and is now on sale.

Now is an ideal time to get your new Asparagus crowns in - the soil is starting to warm up - and planted over the next few weeks - they will form superb roots - leading to strong buds - and eventually those delicious spears.

We offer male F1 hybrids - Gijnlim and Backlim - they will produce very heavy crops. Being male only hybrids - their yield is twice that of many of the older varieties. Backlim crops about a fortnight later than Gijnlim - so the all too-short season can be extended a little.

We offer large 1 year-old crowns with a huge root system - as the above photo on the right shows - at £2.00 each. They can be planted a foot apart -with 2ft'6 between the rows - they are often better planted on ridges on heavy soils. We offer a growing tips leaflet and even a recipe sheet with every crown purchased - what more could you ask for?!

One thing is certain though - we will not have them for very long - they are always popular - so if you want to plant new asparagus beds this spring - get your order in quick - when they are gone, they are gone!!

Until next time,
Richard
