For the patient gardener, growing asparagus from the seeds is a rather slow but rewarding process since it takes three to four weeks for the seedlings to appear.Soak the seeds for 3 to 4 hours before planting and plant the seeds about ½ inch deep in the soil.Ensure that the soil in your garden bed is well drained since asparagus plants can die with excessive soil moisture.SOIL: Nutrient-rich & well-drained soil is key to the growth of Asparagus plant. Soil pH should range between 6 to 7 for asparagus to grow well. Soil temperatures for seed germination should be between 21-29°C(70-85°F). SPOT:Asparagus grows well in a bright sunny spot and can tolerate moderate shade.WATERING:Asparagus is a drought tolerant plant & can even grow well with rainfall as the only watering source. However, one should ensure moist growing soil for the plant to grow well as asparagus tends to extract moisture deep in the roots. Frequent watering would only be required once the crowns appear on the plant.
