So far I have picked 4 batches - yummmmo. Very early in the spring I put dried manure or compost on my two areas. I always believed growing asparagus was no brainer, and laughed when a co-worker said he planted 75 plants. well, after two batches of 25 plants, I have ONE very nice hill of 'gus. A 2nd plant lasted a couple seasons. In the other area I have 3 hills - one quite small - this is from another 25 plants. A very productive hill just up and died two years ago - boom, just gone. good soil, water, etc. If nothing shows up in some areas, may be you could dig around alittle bit - might kick the plant into gear (let the ferns develop). This is the best tasting asparagus I have had - well, it is always great but this year the taste is the best! Piegirl
