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.
Don't harvest asparagus for the first two years after the crowns are planted. This will allow a good root system to develop. Opinions vary but normally asparagus is harvested when it is about 15cm (6in) tall. Any taller than this and the skin will start to thicken and it will need to be peeled before eating.
