Asparagus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Asparagoideae. It comprises up to 300 species.
Can you grow different varieties of asparagus together?
Yes, they can be planted in the same bed, just as you can plant different types of tomatoes or squash in the same bed (providing it is of sufficient size). There are not really any issues with cross pollination resulting in hybrids since you are not harvesting or growing new plants from seed.
How do you identify asparagus plants?
The best time to find asparagus is in the fall when the asparagus plant bushes out and turns bright yellowish-orange in color. If you look closely at the plant it should have small berries on it that are red in the summer and turn yellow in the fall.
Which asparagus is most tender?
"In supermarkets, shoppers will see thin spears of asparagus bunched and marketed as 'tender gourmet' style," says Peter Ferretti, professor of vegetable crops.

What part of asparagus do you eat?

Is a Asparagus a fruit or vegetable?
Best known is the garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), cultivated as a vegetable for its succulent spring stalks. Several African species are grown as ornamental plants.
What happens if you don't cut asparagus?
If they don't, asparagus beetles will lay their eggs in those ferns. Since the length of harvest season will vary from year-to-year depending on air temperature, harvesting should be stopped when the diameter of 75% of the spears becomes small (less than 3/8 inches). Another indicator is the number of spears harvested.
What is the best time to plant asparagus?
Plant asparagus in spring or fall in a sunny spot with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Asparagus takes a few seasons to mature but will reap a harvest for 15 to 30 years, so choose a planting location that will go undisturbed for a long time.
Why are my asparagus spears so thin?
Thin asparagus spears appear for a number of reasons, but the root cause is ultimately the same: the asparagus crown lacks the rigor to create bigger shoots. ... Improper Feeding – Asparagus are somewhat heavy feeders and need all the food they can get in order to build strong spears the following year.
