Planting ASPARAGUS for an Abundant Future Harvest
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- We plant 35 large asparagus crowns to add to the 15 plants we grew from seed last year.
Asparagus are a perennial vegetable that can keep producing for 20 years or more.
Asparagus prefer soil conditions that are neutral to slightly acidic.
Our soil is quite acidic and we show how we amend it.
I loved the circularity of your lovely admission of not feeing like working, taking in the pretty, then re-excitedly ready to take on working again. 💖
I often say it, Ruth. Then I get up, put my big girl pants on and start again 😘
Always inspiring. Production quality improving all the time too. Love your show
Thanks, James. Appreciate the feedback too. 😊
Your gardening fascinates me. 😊
Cool 👌
Meraid just gets more lovely with every video!!! Hard work keeps you both young an interesting I'm hooked 👍🏻keep on filming vitamin D is the best...
Thank you. I think it’s your lovely comments that help ☺️
I think I would just want to sit there and look at everything as well! With a glass of wine or cup of coffee😁. Such a beautiful view💖
We drink the coffee ☕️ in the mornings and those breaks can end up taking longer than planned. We love sitting there and look forward to the day we can sit there together with a glass of wine. Better still, our own wine. ☺️
"Sometimes I don't want work, sometimes I just want to sit and look at how pretty it is" ahh a touch of wisdom.
Parabéns pelo vosso trabalho, estou aprendendo com vocês, essa técnica com os cartões para não deixar vir as ervas ruins é boa ,!vocês são muito fixes! Um abraço.
Obrigados e abraços 🤗
It’s true 😂
A beautiful vegetable garden
Thank you 😊
A lot of work for the little green sticks but they do taste so wonderful
They sure do. 👍
Those crowns look good, i'd say the same size as mine were last year. I did take a small harvest off them a few weeks ago as i said i would. Oh my god! Best taste sensation ever. 😅😅. I dare not go near them again this season or i'll have none left.
Another brilliant update.
I’m glad you picked a few, Owen. I’d call it a little motivation for looking after the plants in the future. All the best for next year’s harvest. 👍
Haha, that's true, I like that. Motivation for future harvests, and the same to you guys as well. 👍🏼
👍
Everything is looking fabulous! My gardening is coming along slowly as I have to buy planter boxes and soil ground much too rocky to grow in takes a strong man and pick ax to get a small hole dug! 🤣 so I enjoy watch your garden endeavors.
How are plans going on your house restoration?
Still waiting on the licence. 2 weeks is rarely two weeks here but we’re used to it now 😂
@@NearbyVeggies HaHa! I know about two weeks, my son is a plumber so it’s always two weeks.
Ha ha 😆
Wow asparagus takes a long time 😮
It sure does and it’s worth the wait 😊
3 years I’ve been told not to pick them must let them grow and die and after the 3rd year you will get so many of them
Yes, that’s true 👍
If we’re planting older crowns ie 3 year crowns. Can we straightaway eat those shoots?
We would suggest letting your asparagus crowns rest for a year after planting, so no picking in the first year no matter how old the crowns are. Take a few in the second year and full harvest in the years after that. 👍
@@NearbyVeggies I’m in a hot climate country similar to Florida. Does that make a difference?
We’re also hot, and dry here in central Portugal.
@@NearbyVeggies I see. So let the crown to rest first and have some bushes first? Since the asparagus will turn into those bushes
Yes, let the crown rest and gather strength to grow ferns which in turn will strengthen the crowns. 👍

Thanks 😊
Wunderbar 😊😊 bravo
Thank you 😊
perpetual spinach is great cooked. Can be not easy to get rid of if you ever want to
Thank you 😊
An electric fence would be a smart addition across where the wildlife comes through cause if tgey haven't found the veggies they will
🤞
Were have you been not seeing much of you lately
We’ve been here, all along. Posting videos and waiting for you to appear 😊
Have you tested the land, PH and others?

Os asparagos 😅
It was super hot 🥵 Heidi. Let’s hope they do well.
Just loving your good spirited videos. ❤
Thank you 😊
Thank you! I love asparagus
Thank you 😊
Asparagus, my favorite vegetable! You two work so well together.
Thanks, Roselyn 😊
Good morning Mr&Mrs Veggie.
Another wonderful look through the lense of your beautiful garden life.
Everything starting to spring in to action 🤠 🤠
It sure is getting better looking 👍🤠🤠
What wonderful video!! I'll be watching you now !! Thanks!!
Thank you, Joan. 😊
@6:30 Breaking Bud? Better Call Soil! I was thinking at first that you'd surely made a mistake planting the crowns at the bottom of the little trench rather than on the ridge as you would in England, but I suppose in the hotter climate you have there they would not get enough water on the ridge? Good work, if most or all of those crowns survive then you'll have plenty of asparagus in the years to come.
You’re a good laugh 😆. Better call Saul. I wish I’d thought of that one. A couple of inches of soil cover doesn’t cut it here, Dan. We grew them from small crowns the size of a tarantula in England in the ridge thing and they were great. They like moisture and it sure gets hot and dry here. There are big trees to the west ( where we sat for a break in the video) and this will give a bit of protection from the hottest part of the day here which is maybe 5pm. We’re still hoping for rain.
I could feel how tired you both were by the end! The music was very evocative, like a western at one point! X
We sure were tired. It was 30C that weekend. 😅

Nice video! Thank you. Over here we have another 20 days before we can safely plant! Had a little bit of frost last night! You guys are reving me up to get started!
Enjoy the breathing space before it all starts growing crazy. 😊
I love asparagus!!!! You both work so hard and your garden grows so very well!!
Thanks, Linda 🤩
Awesome stuff. Did you guys think about getting some volunteers to help you? Woofing?
Perhaps in the future. Thank you 😊
You will need, eventually, a goat, a lamb or a cow to help you eat Al that grass and weeds. Perhaps , under certain conditions; you can rent/exchange grass for cheese, as one of you is a vegetarian?
We have goats come in to browse the land and we get heaps of manure in exchange. 😊👍
You both work so hard, it will absolutely be all worth it in the end. Take care, Poo
Thanks so much 😊
I grew my asparagus from seed and it is still going well 15 years plus later. I give mine some ash as well, and a good top dress with comfrey leaves
We are going to move some comfrey into the asparagus enclosure so we have some nearby to give to them. We’re expanding the comfrey this year as it’s now establishing well. Ours is bocking 14 which doesn’t spread easily and grows from root cuttings. 👍
@@NearbyVeggies great stuff. I make comfrey tea for the Veggies as well, great for powering the crowns up after harvesting.
Yes, that’s great stuff.
Did you ever think of getting a bee hive?
We did, but we are too close to another bee keeper. We do get his honey 🍯 😊
Never enough hours in the day😊
It often feels like that. 😊
It will be nice to follow along and see how the seed grown ones compare to those grown from crowns. Now you need a goat to make your own cheese to go with your future asparagus spears and home-grown olive oil 😍
Our neighbours have milking goats which is used to make wonderful cheese. 😊
Well done on giving your asparagus plenty of space😊
Thank you 😊
I watched video from some monastery in Japan and the cooked the bracken spears as a veg, I wonder what it taste like, have you tried it?😊
Our bracken is a different type I think from what you mention. Fiddle something or other? To answer your question, I haven’t tried them. I’ll wait for you to post your verdict 🤭
@@NearbyVeggies Fiddle head fern. Picked when still coiled and young, it's tender and a bit crunchy. I've had it sauteed in coconut milk and garlic.
That’s the one ☝️ Thanks Ruth, I’m feeling a bit peckish now 😊
👏👏👏💪💪
👍😊
💐🌟🍀👍👏
👍😊
Your property is looking nicer and nicer. But you guys have invested a lot of effort. I got a backache just watching this latest video of yours. Like you said; you have to work to make it prettier. I hope ur vision comes out as you envision it! Continued good wishes for you guys.
It might surprise you, but I don’t have a particular vision. I just see myself wandering around picking fruit and vegetables every where ( but especially nearby veggies) ☺️
@Nearby Veggies LOL that is a vision in itself ! And i hope u come to see it pass!
Indeed. 👍
@Nearby Veggies i enjoy your videos and hearing your thoughts.
Thanks so much. 👍
You've officially planted a consortium of octopuses as that's the word for a group of 🐙 🐙.
🤗 🦑🐙
That is the best thing I’ve learned this week. Thank you 😊 🐙
I am interested to see how the asparagus grows. I understand why it's a more expensive veg to buy because I know how much time and care it takes to grow. Can I ask how much you paid for the trailer of mulch?
We paid 23€ per load.
Where I am in australia the saw mills have so much they nearly pay you to take it away
That’s a great resource to get for free. 👍
It takes a lot of work to plant asparagus. I don't know why it isn't planted in Brazil, where anything is born. What we have here comes from Peru and is very expensive. Waiting for videos about home renovation😁. The property is becoming quite productive. a good week. direct from Rio de Janeiro
It’s a long term vegetable so worth the effort. Asparagus isn’t widely grown in Portugal either but I think it’s down to the practice of growing what you know you like. Here, people successfully grow many plants which need little attention. And in our locality it’s mostly small subsistence farms. Wise people.
Could you grow asparagus, Marcos? Or is seed or crowns hard to find. 😊
@@NearbyVeggies I live in an apartment in the city of Rio de Janeiro. I could even try to plant in a vase, but at the moment it is not possible. appreciate your attention. I've never had news of anyone growing aspargus here in Brazil. for the first time, due to your video I saw how it is done.
lots of sun block guys, stay strong, you got this.
Thank you 😊
😊😊
Thanks 😊
