So far the asparagus is growing very well. I hope it survives this very hot weather.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I am impressed with the plants received, and are already a foot or two high. Should have planted asparagus years ago and we could be enjoying it now. Looking forward to being able to use it in a year or so.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I have never ordered any type of veggies on line,I have ordered flowers on line, but never veggies, these asparagus plants had VERY established root systems so i am very optomistic that in the next 2-3 years we will be picking aspargus from our own back yard, thanks for a great product once again !
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
[...]So they sat to the side for 1 week. Once I got them planted, I had sprouts at 1 week and now I have ferns that are waist height. Hope to harvest 1/2 the crop next year.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I have spent lots of money buying asparagus plants in gallon containers. These came in a bundle of 25 which I saved well over 50 bucks. When they arrived they were fresh and in great condition. All but 3 plants came up. I was satisfied with the results [...]
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The Asparagus arrived in perfect condition; good sized & healthy looking. Can't wait to try them.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Planted the crowns within three days of receiving them and within just a few days I had asparagus spears that were so healthy looking it was torture not to harvest them. My mother, a master gardener, is as impressed as I am. Every one of the 25 crowns planted has speared and is now thriving. I can't wait to taste some next year!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The asparagus has come up, and as directed, we're letting it stand this year to make its ferns. Looking forward to next year's crop.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The instructions for planting the asparagus were easy to follow. About two-thirds of them actually sprouted. I look forward to harvesting in the years to come.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I was pleased with the health of the crowns, the easy to follow instructions and how fast they sprouted. I'm excited to see how much asparagus I harvest next year.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I have not had any luck with previous asparagus starts but I have had complete success with these. I can't wait to start harvesting in a couple of years! I shared starts with friends.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I am very pleased with the product as all crowns have sprouted to beautiful plants. I am looking forward to gathering next spring.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I am looking forward to a healthy and vigorous asparagus crop in the next year or so. [...] began to push up signs of growth in a very short time.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
These crowns came up so fast it was amazing. This is their first year. I didn't know much about asparagus, they ended up taking up an entire grow bed which I was not counting on, but we'll see how they do next year overwintering and when we finally get to harvest them. Gave some to neighbors, we couldn't get them all in one bed.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Asparagus roots arrived a little early for my 5,000 ft elevation but stored well. The planting instructions were excellent and the plants are beginning to grow well. The trench is not quite filled in yet, but expect to have that done very soon. Will probably order another set for the other half of my asparagus bed next spring.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Very nice root stock
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Easy to plant and grew 12 inches in the first week of planting.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I planted these one Saturday and they were a foot tall by the next weekend! I hope they do well down here in the heat and humidity, although our winters are getting colder. Twenty-five plants is a lot, so I shared them with another gardner. They do need watering EVERY day. I missed one day and one plant died (it might be still alive underground however.) Can't wait for next spring when we'll be able to harvest a few.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Everything went exactly as the instructions stated. I have healthy, abundant asparagus ferns in this first season!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
These crowns came up right away. I purchased crowns from another source that never came up at all. Great Crowns. Thanks.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
arrived healthy, took off growing, i am well pleased
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
My asparagus bed was not fully prepared when I ordered, and I had other more pressing tasks when I received the asparagus. I put the asparagus in the refrigerator (per instructions on the internet). I recently planted and all but 2 have come up. I am hopeful for a good crop next year.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Every crown came up. Things are looking good.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Its hard not to pick the first year, but if you can wait it is worth it
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
came at appropriate planting time. 1/3 of the crowns had significant mold [...] planted them all and they are just starting to break ground I will let you know the percentage that actually come up.Candy Jones

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
easy to follow instructions, easy to plant. growing all ready
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
We just expanded our garden this year and wanted to try asparagus. [...] took right off after planting. So, for now we are very happy with the purchase...we will know more in years to come when we can actually harvest and enjoy it!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
All the plants lived. My patch is looking great!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
every one of these plants came up despite getting them in late and having a very wet spring , very hearty roots, i am very happy with my purchase....well done !!!!!!!!!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Attracted to the plant once and enjoy picking asparagus for many, many years to come. Precise directions really helped my confidence. Excited
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I planted these soon after they arrived. They sprouted quickly, and I'm very hopeful about the asparagus crop I will get to enjoy next year.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The roots I received were huge, and very healthy looking. It was about 75 degrees when I planted them, but a week later when they had sprouted to about four inches tall and I had filled the trench for the first time, it snowed about four inches, and the temp hovered around freezing for several days. Typical Northern Michigan weather. Once it warmed up a little again, those plants EXPLODED! Every single one has come up, and most are about three feet tall. All this in about four weeks! I have recommended these plants to every gardener I know!

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
These asparagus crowns were quite impressive. I ordered 50 crowns thinking that, like everywhere else, half of the crowns would be puny and dehydrated. Not the case! Needless to say, I had way more than I needed. I am glad I held out from my local garden supply stores and mail ordered from Gardeners Supply. If you are looking for asparagus, look no further.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The only real down side is that you have to plant these guys right away. I planted about half of crowns during the first week after I received them, and those plants are going strong. I'm not quite sure how the crowns I waited to plant are going to fair, but if I were to do it again, I'd play it safe and plant them all immediately.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The asparagus crowns [...] were all healthy. My bed was already prepared and planting instructions were easy to follow. It is now the end of May and every single crown is growing. An investment for years to come.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Wasn't sure it took at first, but now it is definitely taking off. I anticipate lots of asparagus in the future because the plant looks very hardy.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I love aspargus . . . but it gets expensive to buy--even in season. This took off and has grown EVERY DAY. I can't wait until next season when it is ready to harvest . . . and the seasons after that. Wonderful!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
This was fun and exciting. I know it is strange to be excited about a plant; but, I have a "black" thumb.
I keep trying; but, I kill plants. But I can grow these asperagus. I just put them in soil and baby asparagus popped up.
The cool part is, they will look pretty next year and for years give me asperagus for "free".
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I ordered the Jersey Supreme Asparagus and planted it as soon as it arrived. It [...] included detailed instructions. [...]. Cant wait until next year!!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
[...]The instructions were not as extensive as I might have wished, but then again I have read several conflicting reports on the "best" way to plant asparagus. For a home garden, 25 crowns was just too many. I ended up giving away the ones I didn't have room for. But the ones I planted have come up and look great!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The plants arrived very healthy looking with many buds and very robust roots.
All of the plants have grown ferns. I am looking forward to minimal harvest next spring!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Clear, comprehensive instructions, healthy dry root plants. At a great price!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Plants had heavy roots, started growing right away. Excellent specimens.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
You do need some space for asparagus and I did a little extra investigating for planting information. So far all the plants I put in are coming up and looking healthy.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I planted the asparagus [...]. They are coming up and hope to be able to harvest in two years
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
They come up right away.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I received these in good condition and put them in the garden just over a month ago. All of the crowns have put forth greenery, and I am confident they will do well in the seasons to come. I held off on a five-star rating only because it is too early to see their yield.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Very poor product. The asparagus are coming up and staying at less than 1/8 inch thick. Very sad considering the price for the bulbs.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The crowns arrived in very good condition, some with tiny white asparagus shoots. They appear to be quite healthy and hopefully will produce as promised.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
We could not believe after planting the Asparagus that only after 2 weeks, they are about a foot tall! We thought we were seeing things when we looked out our window only a few days after planting them and saw them sticking up out of the ground! Truly amazing! Too bad we have to wait another year before we can pick and eat - they look so delicious already! Would definitely recommend.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Every one of the 25 asparagus crowns came up! They continue to grow and I continue to fill in the rows with additional soil as they do. I can't wait 'til next year when we start harvesting FRESH asparagus!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The directions are complete and easy to follow. All but two of my ferns have already come up. They grow fast and are fun to watch. I can hardly wait to get home from work to see hoe much they have grown during the day.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I ordered 25 crowns, so far about half have come up. Hoping for the rest to come up. The spears up are growning very quickly.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Even though I waited too long to get these in the ground, all the spears came up and are doing very well. As the instructions stated, I did not harvest any this year so I will need to wait until next year before I can taste the yummy asparagus.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
This asparagus is growing in well, despite our mediocre soil. It seems very healthy and is easy to grow!

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Easy to follow instructions. I was surprised it recommended waiting until it started growing to put compost/manure on. All of the books I have read said to put the compost in the trench first, but I followed the instructions it came with, and so far so good. About 65% have sprouted already and are still going strong. I'm hoping more will continue to sprout.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I ordered these late in the year, and left them in the fridge for a week before getting them in the ground- so I wasn't sure what to expect. These are the best asparagus crowns I've found! Very enthusiastic, very productive (of first year sprouts, of course) and very healthy stock all around. This was my first experience with Gardener's Supply, and I will definitely order from them again, and will recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I planted as instructed and so far, I have beautiful ferns growing! I am looking forward to next year when they will be edible. I didn't realize that asparagus does require a lot of space so I ended up giving quite a few away but overall, I am quite pleased.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
These are the healthiest, most vigorous asparagus crowns I've ever seen. I know they will do very well.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I obtained asparagus crowns from a number of different suppliers this spring. I found the Crowns from Gardeners supply to be the healthiest and to have the highest rate of producing aspargus spears. (Germanation)I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and productivity of the product. I will use Gardeners supply for all my future asparagus crowns.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The roots took off quickly. All of them were healthly, although I wished they were all uniformly large roots. Some of my roots (about 40%) are rather small, resulting in rather thin and scrawny
ferns. I have yet to see if this will affect the size of the asparagus come harvest year. I just planted them this spring upon receiving the roots.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I purchased 25 asparagus roots and proceeded to dig 25 deep holes in a section of our back yard (no room for a trench). Despite spacing planting over a couple weeks, every one of the roots survived and sprouted, and we gradually added compost to each one to foster growth. We are now letting the stalks go to seed this year as recommended. We're looking forward to ample asparagus in years to come. After hearing from friends that asparagus purchased elsewhere did not sprout, I would definitely recommend Gardener's Supply!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I had a bed of asparagus for years that was established when I bought my house, but this is the first time I've planted it myself. The worst part was digging the trenches! The crowns arrived in good shape, they seemed none the worse for wear even though I didn't get them in the ground right away, and 18 out of 20 came up and are looking healthy. The true test will be next spring when I get to eat some!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The asparagus came right up. There was good instructions in the box.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The directions were sort of complicated but I didn't expect to see asparagus for 2 + years and I'm happy to say I have at least 10 shoots already! They've only been in the ground 6 weeks! I'm very excited - my plan is to let them go to seed this year and then hope that next year there will be an abundance.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Loved the asparagus, I put the crowns in very large pots. Having never grown these before I felt the directions were a bit vague and assumed the planter knew more than expected. I had to do a lot of on-line searching. Simpler, easier directions would have been ideal. Anyway, I must have done something right because I have fern tops that are over 2' tall. Can't imagine what the asparagus will look like next year!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
We planted it and it growing beautifully and look forward to our harvest next spring.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Good price. I had the crowns delivered on a specific week because I knew I wouldn't be able to get around to building my raised asparagus bed until then....They are doing well 6 weeks later. It was fun to see then come up. I think I only had 2 of the 52 (2 orders) not sprout.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
These plants are 3 to 4 feet high after having been in the ground only one month! I'm excited for the harvesting next year. I believe I will have plenty of asparagus!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Asparagus grows pretty well and once the digging is done is easy to put in and care for.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
We built a 12x2 raised bed and placed each crown in a 1x1 space. We had to double up on one, which we did with small ones a little closer. It has been 6 weeks and ALL of the crowns have their first year growth between 2 and 4 feet so far, one or more per crown. We are so excited for future crops and will likely order another beds worth next spring!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
asparagus crowns arrived in good shape, took well to soil, sprouted vigorously - better than crowns purchased in past from other suppliers

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I planted these around an already established bed to make it bigger....I think every one of them has come up....Now I have a BIG BED!!!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Love asparagus, first attempt to grow it. The plants are all up and look wonderful to me. Looking forward to years of asparagus.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I planted my asparagus roots about a month ago, and the shoots are over a foot high, healthy and happy! The planting instructions were very helpful.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
The directions were very clear. The asparagus started growing right away, and very fast.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Healthy crowns, filled with vitality. Just planted a few weeks ago, sprouting and growing.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Placed half the plants in our two-tier raised garden bed and it has taken off! Neighbors are coming over to check it out and take an extra crown with them to trial! Will have to wait a year or so to see how it actually "eats"!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
Only about 2/3 of the crowns grew the first year. The second year only about 2/3 of those came back. I bought replacement crowns to fill in where the first year crowns failed and only about 2/3 of those came up even after soil enrichment and following planting directions.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
It looked as if the crowns were all dead. However I planted as per instruction(except maybe a little closer because I am doing Square Foot gardening)I waited and all of a sudden they all took off and I swear that if I turned around that they had grown another inch. Most are chest high now. Can not wait until next year to taste the harvest. No complaints .Jerry

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
All but one of the 25 crowns that we planted a month ago have produced spears. I look forward to our first harvest next year.

Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I love asparagus, but never thought about growing it until the prices got so high. A friend suggested growing it as it is so easy to grow. Just planted it this year, so I have a lot of ferns. My roses love it in arrangements. As prolific as my plants have been, I'm looking forward to asparagus in the future. Really easy to care for, too!
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
I can't wait until next spring when we can start harvesting our asparagus. We haven't lost a single one, and it looks great in our garden.
Comments about Jersey Supreme Asparagus, 25 Crowns:
unfortunately, it takes 3 years for asparagus to mature. 25 was enough for my 2-person household that i had enough to share with a relative. i established it for my cousin and she is thrilled! the first year's growth is very successful. can't wait to taste it!
