ASPARAGUS Approximately 800 seeds per OZ.
A perennial vegetable that many love the taste of. An asparagus bed will last for many years. Grows best in
soils with a pH of 6.7 to 7.0. Soil should be light and rich in organic matter.
PLANTING SEEDS: Soak seeds for 48 hours at 85-90F before sowing. Place seeds 2" "deep and 1/2" apart in a
row outside after soil has warmed up. Keep soil loose and weed free. Transplant the following year to a
permanent location. After transplanting, take only a light cutting off the first year and regularly there after.
Seeds may also be started indoors in deep peat pots.
PLANTING CROWN: Nitrogen should be applied at a rate of 75 lbs of actual nitrogen per acre, phosphate
at 250 lbs per acre and potassium at 300 lbs per acre. Prepare your field by broadcasting fertilizer at above
rates and work it in. With a "lister or middle buster, open a V-trench of 6-8" deep. Apply Superphosphate
( 0-46-0 ) in the "bottom of trench at a rate of 200 lbs per acre or 22 lbs per 1,000' of row. Cover fertilizer with
1" of soil. Drop crowns in trench. The buds do not have to be facing up. We suggest laying them on there sides
Distance between crowns is determined by the spear diameter required. 12-14" apart for 5/8 to 3/4" spears.
8-10" for3/8 to 5/8" spears. Row spacing should be 5 foot. Completely cover crowns with soil. Some spears
can be harvested the first year and starting the second year, you can harvest all spears until spears become
small, usually 3/8" diameter. Crowns are 1 year old and have been inspected by the New Jersey Department of
Agricultural and are Fussarium wilt free.

Horseradish is perennial in hardiness zones 2–9 and can be grown as an
annual in other zones, though not as successfully as in zones with both a long
growing season and winter temperatures cold enough to ensure plant
dormancy. After the first frost in the autumn kills the leaves, the root is dug and
divided. The main root is harvested and one or more large offshoots of the
main root are replanted to produce next year's crop. Horseradish left
undisturbed in the garden spreads via underground shoots and can become
invasive. Older roots left in the ground become woody, after which they are no
longer culinarily useful, although older plants can be dug and redivided to start
new plants.
