moving old asparagus plants

piegirl · January 3, 2007

my parents are moving to a retirement apt. and we have a large almost 60 year patch of 'gus. It still produces and was started from seed before being moved to town. Would it be worthwhile to transplant - putting sentiment aside. Select the biggest plants and leave the rest? I will also be moving rhubarb. Both have been organic for all these years. Now if I could just figure out how to move the grape vines, I'd be happy..they are fantastic. Any thoughts welcome - piegirl
