I have a question about growing asparagus.
I was given approx. 5000 asparagus seeds. these must hzve been processed for a large grower as they are pelleted.
How do I go about growing them?
Should I start them in pots then transplant, or should I sow them directly in the ground?
When you buy crowns, it says don't harvest the first year, so I assume I wouldn't be able to harvest anything from these for 3 years?
