Our old Washington bed of over 40 years just got run over with hay this summer. These grew like wildfire. It should be an excellent secondary bed. They covered the bed like a carpet.THAT DEPENDS ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS. Soil condition, moisture and weed control (most import to keep be weed free). We just planted two new asparagus beds one 4 foot by 24 feet with these Mary Washington seeds. The other bed with Jersey giant (90% male) roots a 10 foot by 12 foot bed. We make sure to water adequately. Mary Washington asparagus ar comparable to your store bought slightly larger than pinky sized. Generally any asparagus that are pinky sized or smaller are as a rule left to go to seed. Generally when the asparagus ultimately grow no larger tha pinky size it's time to let them go to seed to nourish the plants root system. Generally in the Northeast New York area this occurs around July fourth. Just about the time you harvest your garlic. The these asparagus seeds can be grown until the tip starts to spread (actually that's pushing it) and form a bushy plant which ultimately forms seeds replishing the bed with new plants. We started the Jersey Knight with roots which are quite expensive. You plant the about 4 to 6 inchers deep about 6 inches apart. They cost roughly $7 for 5 roots. We started the Mary Washington bed with these seeds. As you can see from the pictures both beds are really looking good. The Jersey Knight did give some much larger but still tender asparagus. All asparagus start thin and fatten up. That depends on what yoou're looking for. If you let them grow larger and taller they get woody and have to have lower portion shaved to make them tender and edible. The Mary Washington surprised me as it's finishig its second season and we just saw some pinky sized shoots. We've always loved Mary Washington asparagus and this bed will probably outlive me (I'm 87) and give great asparagus for the next forty or so years. (we planted them in the garden close to the house this time.) The Jersey Giant wil not reproduce the way Mary Washington plants do. Guess that's why our original bed lasted over forty years and would probably still be going strong if it wasn't overrun by a vigorous Timothy hay field. We are really looking for some fantastic yields from the Mary Washington seed bed next summer. This year, 2018 wasn't a very good year in the garden overall, but both of the new asparagus beds really did great.Enjoy, grampa JoePictures. 1.Jersey Giant second year root planted 7-18 1A. first Jersey Giant asparagus shoots in June 2018. 2.

Many plants did not make it through a cold snap, but many are doing well. I am hoping to get a mix of male and female plants to spread my asparagus patch, and I will probably order more seed in the spring. The price is right, and they arrived promptly. Thank you, very happy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great seeds *by A***. on August 11, 2022* I don't have a green thumb. I soaked half the seeds for 24 hours and threw them in their spot of the garden and barely covered with top soil because I ran out. They came through, but it did take some time. The second half I soaked the seeds in water for a week because I forgot about them, drained them and forgot them for another week. They had all sprouted in the container pretty good before I threw them in the garden. Covered more heavily with top soil and they were coming through within a week. We are zone 7. ## Frequently Bought Together - Asparagus Mary Washington Great Heirloom Vegetable by Seed Kingdom 500 Seeds - 1 Pack Argenteuil Purple Asparagus Seeds for Planting with Instructions to Grow Gourmet French Asparagus in Your Home Vegetable Garden - Non-GMO Heirloom - Survival Garden Seeds - Asparagus Seeds for Planting, 50 Mary Washington Garden Vegetable Seeds, Heirloom Variety, Open Pollinated, Non-GMO --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/182909594-asparagus-mary-washington-great-heirloom-vegetable-by-seed-kingdom-500](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/182909594-asparagus-mary-washington-great-heirloom-vegetable-by-seed-kingdom-500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
