Seed Starting Guide

[Chuck]

Thought I'd post this to help alleviate the pain and suffering many will have when their seeds don't sprout.

Messed up big time trying to post this.

It's not working Chuck but don't worry, give it another try. Can I help?

It's working.

Maybe try uploading it and then linking to it? When I click it automatically downloads a .pdf file. That's the sort of thing that sets off alarm bells with most folk. I for one like to see things first and then decide if I want to download them.

I'm glad you did this. I couldn't figure out how. These magic machines baffle me.

Thanks for this, I was looking for this info . I'll just have to convert temps to celsius but no big deal.

Thank you for sharing this list. It's very helpful. I want to start growing asparagus this year

Thanks for sharing - I have had little to no success with growing from seeds, and I think it's because I just haven't researched things like the soil temperatures enough. At least with this information I can go in armed with all the details, and hopefully have a better chance at growing things well!

Asparagus seeds are somewhat difficult and take a long time. What you want to do is to is get asparagus crowns (roots) and plant them, and even they take 2 years before harvest. You have to plant them similar to the way you plant potatoes with a trench and hill them up. Not something that is easy to do

Thank you for the advice. I knew that growing asparagus takes a lot of time, but I had no idea it's this long. But I really want to give it a try, because asparagus is delicious

Probably from seed it will take about 4-5 years. From crowns 2.

I'll definitely grow them from crowns Everything can change in 5 years. Who knows, maybe I won't like asparagus anymore
