MARY WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS: 2023 Fall Plant Presale

Description

It’s that time again – time for our annual fall plant presale! Isn’t it so fun to get a jump start on planning your next garden and thinking about how you can feed you family nutrient dense foods right from your own property?

This year we’re doing something SUPER exciting that we’ve never done before! We still have our usual honeyberries and saskatoons, and strawberries but we’ve also added several new plants — even some perennial vegetables! We’re passionate about helping Alaskans grow their own food and this is a huge leap in that direction! We’ve added a new variety of strawberries, red and yellow raspberries, gooseberries, asparagus, caucasian mountain spinach, lovage and more!

OUR FIRST PERENNIAL VEGETABLE TO SHOWCASE: MARY WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS! 25 bareroot plants for only $35

Asparagus is an awesome perennial vegetable to plant in your garden because it’s like the gift that keeps giving – and if you haven’t had fresh-from-the=garden asparagus then you’ve not REALLY enjoyed asparagus to its fullest. Fresh is so tender and juicy and flavorful!

One thing about asparagus is that it doesn’t produce for the first couple of years. It takes some time and patience but when it does start producing, you’re set! AND – in Alaska it can produce all summer, not just in the spring! Every Alaska garden needs an asparagus bed!

These come in bunches of 25 plants, and they will produce beautiful asparagus stalks in about 2 years.

Pickup at the farm in May. An email will go out to everyone early spring with pickup instructions.
