HOW TO GROW ASPARAGUS FROM SEED. When it comes to growing asparagus from seed you will need to prepare a suitable seed bed during the previous autumn. Dig over the bed to a spit deep and incorporate plenty of well-rotted farm manure or garden compost at the same time. Then prior to sowing go over the soil surface to produce a fine tilth.
Cycle. When it first emerges, asparagus produces the well-loved, tender, slim spears that can be eaten. These spears are the âharvestâ of the asparagus plant, and this portion of the growth cycle will last four to six weeks during the second year after planting and from six to eight weeks the third year after planting.o not harvest any spears the first season of blossoming, and allow the spears to pop and produce seeds, as this is required to help the asparagus fully establish itself. The soil should stay moist 2 inches below the surface, so add mulch to your asparagus plants to conserve soil moisture as well as keep away weeds.
