In this video I'm going to show you how to plant asparagus and strawberries in the ground or in raised beds. Link to Raised Bed Video: • How to Make a Simple &...
Silly question if you put tulle over the strawberry plants to keep critters out how do the flowers get pollinated for fruit production? My inquiring mind wants to know, because we have squirrels and chipmunks, and gophers and groundhogs and birds all attacking my strawberries . Oh and a little black speckled bug that I haven’t been able to identify yet. I’m getting 45 crowns this spring and I want to be able to enjoy some berries and make some jam. ❄️💚🙃
I've seen bees work their way under the tool where birds cannot. However it's in full of flour you can remove the tool. Strawberry flowers are self fertile but sometimes they need a little help. You can do that by shaking the flowers much like we do tomatoes
@@NextLevelGardening you see this old fart learned something today, didn’t know strawberries were self fertile. Thank you ! I could never be called a know it all because clearly I don’t.🤣❄️💚🙃
@@viper04af Thank you about the hardware cloth idea! I’m not very handy so I’ll probably just cut some and lay it over the containers their planted in. Thank you again! ❄️💚🙃
a side view diagram showing the various layers and plants would really help those of us who are primarily visual. a phot at low angle would be as good. good info anyway without them, just easy to get confused. thanx as always.
I don't think you made it clear that strawberries and asparagus can be planted together. Asparagus is planted deeper and the strawberries are planted on the top layer and staggered amongst the asparagus.
If you add soil as the asparagus grows, how is the soil as high as where the strawberries go? Or, is it o kay to cover the asparagus plants up to that level right away? I'm guessing the strawberries will spread in-between the asparagus plants?
We’re going to be planting jumbo asparagus roots do I still have to let them go two full years before we harvest. Or just do a few next year like you said. We ordered jumbo from gurneys because we’ve gotten them from them before but never the jumbo. Thanks too for any help.❤❤❤
Can strawberries be planted in containers? I am not allowed to dig, so I do my "gardening" in buckets, and totes. Also what about hard freeze? MN gets a LITTLE cold in the winter, and my stuff freeze's solid!
Absolutely you can grow in pots (although I am not sure about a hard freeze and containers, they may need to be moved to a garage). Where I am, fairly cold winters, hard frosts, very occasional snow, and I just leave the pots where they are. My senior plants are probably 8 years old. They do not produce much, but the little they do is throw out strawberry seedlings all around them, which I dig up and transplant. I primarily do my (newer) strawberries in Kratky hydroponics (which also did not need special treatment over winter, but you will likely need to do overwintering, just search for 'overwintering strawberries'). One reason I switched the newer plants to hydro, is faster and more reliable yields.
The best video I've seen covering these two veggies. Again, thank you for speaking clearly, demonstrating each step, and taking the time to teach us. Your tips are always so helpful!
My asparagus bed needs attention, badly! Compact soil, a tree is now shading the bed and I NEED to fertilize plus the weeds, yikes. Tips and tricks to rejuvenating an old asparagus bed? Yes I know I shouldn’t have let it get that bad, but this old fart runs out of energy fast in the hot days of summer. ❄️💚🙃
I’ve considered planting asparagus but I don’t really have a space for it. I know they need a dedicated space and I don’t have that right now. I thought you weren’t supposed to cover the crowns though? I’ve heard that will just cause them to rot.
I killed my asparagus many years ago before I learned anything about gardening and now I want to try again. I currently have strawberries in a bed and I know runners can overtake a bed very quickly. How soon/often would you have to reset your bed to keep the strawberries or asparagus from overtaking each other? Thanks!
I planted asparagus seed on 2020 and gave so many away because all came up🤣 Since I only have them in smart pots do I need to do something special? I added strawberry plants around them last year. So hoping I will have a few this year🥰
I have around ten asparagus plants but now I know they’re female. They look beautiful full of berries, but, c’mon! I didn’t plant them for their berries. What should I do? I’d appreciate your input.
HELP! I brought in my pepper plants last fall. I followed your instructions and removed ALL leaves on the plants. The end of Jan I noticed there were aphids! I covered the plants with plastic and sprayed need oil on them. I left them covered for 3-4 days. I thought they were gone. Not! They are back! So do I do the process again, or give up and dispose of them and start over? I have no idea where those nasty bugs came from.
My year 2 asparagus has not turned brown and it is the middle of January, in southern California. Do I Prune them anyway, or wait until the ferns turn completely brown and dry?
I laughed when I watched you shuffle around on the soil to tamp it down, as we added several more raised beds this past fall, and I'm always on shuffle-duty! You simplified asparagus for me, so maybe I'll have to add it to our garden area. It's always felt intimidating. Thank you for making it easy and showing all the steps!!!
I planted a new strawberry pot last season and I’m sure I did it wrong now. Maybe this year. I have to mention that if the subs on this channel haven’t checked out your Next Level Homestead channel, they really should. Great videos. Thanks for all the great info.
Nice little Electric Slide for tamping down raised bed soil. 😆 I may have to try that with strawberries. I’ve been thinking about growing my own. Store bought is kind of bleh.
If you think you will have problems with birds or other critters wanting to eat your strawberries, you can paint a bunch of rocks red. Set the red rocks all over your strawberry bed. Hopefully that will discourage anything eating them when the strawberries start to produce.
Super great information! I really want to grow both of these. That said, I am going to do one this year and the other next year. My cousin has a strawberry patch that I'd like to take runners from to plant here at my garden. I'd love to see a video on your method of doing this. I've looked at others, but I'm just not 100% sure about those methods. I thought I'd start with the strawberries this year and next year create a second bed just for the asparagus.
@@NextLevelGardening - Then just put them in the ground? I have to travel a couple of hours from their house with them. I assume a moist paper towel or the like? See? I need a full video. 🤣 Sad thing is you've probably done one that I've seen a long time ago and don't remember. 🤣
Working on our garden expansion, have my asparagus and strawberry roots already. Supposed to get snow on Tuesday, so hopefully, next weekend, they can go into new beds. (weather permitting) We are zone 8b, wondering if it's good to put straw on the bed or is a frost cover better in the beginning? 😃🍓
Thanks so much! Been holding on to my asparagus crowns for a month! Ready to go thanks again! I have strawberries from last year and they taste awful! Going to get rid of them.
I am so happy you did this video today. My strawberries have been sitting on the shelf and they were on my to do list for Friday to get them planted. Now they will do much better than they would have if I did not see this! I wish I had room in my beds but they will be in my new Green Stalk, hoping for success!!!
I have a strawberry growing suggestion. I live in PNW WA in an apartment. I planted in the soil, hard clay, a couple pineberries. It didn’t do great, but didn’t die. The owner decided to cut down a tree and put the chopped bark all over as mulch. Suddenly the pineberries went insane. In one season they spread runners all over and I cannot count, maybe 500 plants? Maybe more? So my suggestion is if you live in the PNW, and have clay soil, you may wish to topdress your strawberry beds recently made bark dust from a tree. This may help a lot.
I planted some strawberries a few months ago (central Florida) and I had no idea this is what you were supposed to do😅. Explains why I haven't had much growth, thanks for the content, I've been using your channel allot lately for information.
Good video, thank you. As I watched this video I realized that you haven't talked much about drip irrigation at your new property. Do you have future plans for this?
I found your channel a few weeks ago, and now im watching your videos daily. Thank you for all the great information that you share, your videos make me very excited for gardening season to start
Thanks Brian!!! Planting asparagus this spring. ❤ My original bed lasted 25 years before it got tired. It was Mary Washington I grew from seed. I'm planning on doing one in Texas also. Good info on strawberries. I have a tough time with them.💞
Love all your videos! I might add to everyone here that asparagus roots grow many feet deep. So make sure your beds are not going to prevent that with mesh or a bottom of the box, etc
I am in zone 9b and strawberries are annuals only, I used crowns variety Chandler. Asparagus I am trying in a raised bed using a warm climate variety UC157. Mine are up now some are already pencil thick but leaving them alone. So hopefully in a couple years we will enjoy them.
I’m in 9b and strawberries grow year round for me, but they don’t fruit year round. Chandler is my favorite variety, but it’s June bearing only, so I also grow seascape which is ever bearing.
Awesome. I’m in year two this year and will be planting another crop (asparagus). Last year’s did great and it was difficult not to harvest a few. I’m sure this year will be even harder to resist!
Dear Lord , I just bought asparagus plants from Lowes in a bag .. didn’t know it’s going to take 3 YEARS to eat them … 😢😭 I have never grew them before , every year I try to plant something different that I have never planted .. maybe I should look this stuff up & find out before I buy huh? Lol 😂
@@NextLevelGardening yoor setup is bad... your asparagus will grow sideways and you will have alot of uneatable growth. also you forget speaking about how to prepare in the early spring of the 3rd year, your asparagus will get bad if you dont pile up earth on top- People who copy your set up will get uneatable green asparagus all over the place instead of need columns of incredible tasty white gold. Cutting small amunts of it with a wood chisel works, but you want to invest in the right tool for a large harvest. the last day of harvest is a bit tricky, but it shouldnt be much after midsummer in most places.
I tried growing strawberries and they grew well! Then I brought them inside for winter and they all died! Seems there was some type of bug or something in them but all I saw looked slightly like spider webbing. ☹️.
Most varieties of strawberries have a die back in winter, and most varieties need a winter to fire up again. There are a couple of varieties that do not need a winter, but I believe they have a shorter producing span. What it sounds like to me, is that your strawberries went into winter die back. Just put them outside again. You cannot get them to grow inside unless you have grow-lighting, and heat above 25°C. But again, most varieties want to die back for the winter.
I was just thinking about my asparagus, wondering if sense I planted them last summer , let them go to seed then bent them over and buried those if this year they were ready this yr. Can I pick them ? I'm in mich
My problem with strawberries is that they need serious protection...some critter will pluck unprotected berries off the moment they are ripe and neatly leave behind just the green top. I suspect the squirrels but it could be the raccoons. And my 1 year old asparagus tips are being nipped off by birds! Arrrgggh. Still experimenting with stopping that.
try to attract crows to your area, also i noticed I had a bunch of sunflowers gowning last year and everything went after those and left my other stuff alone, plus i got some really cool birds coming in to the sunflowers
Hi Brian, I am going to make the raised bed that you showed on your other video. I live in Minnesota so I have a while to wait before warmer weather. I will be doing the 4 x 8 size. I want to put in tomatoes so should the soil be 12 inches, or deeper like 15 inches? and how far apart? I am still a little confused as to the ratio and what type of soil to put in them. I am starting from scratch. Thanks for your great videos, you are great! Thanks! Cheryl Anderson
Hey man! You're looking healthy! Happy for you! I actually did this last year. Added wood chips on tops as they're perennials and I've added trifecta as well as soil from the chicken coup. Leaf mold and leaf mulch 6 months ago. Just going crazy so far and haven't even started this year really lol strawberries I used Albion and stagger planted them between each asparagus crown last year. Oh and added wood ash and bio char. Think they're good for a few years lol
And my question is answered! I have a 15 year old asparagus bed. I currently have strawberries in pots, but wanted to put them in a bed. They can be in the same one, thank you!
I’m trying to grow both of these from seed. I just planted some in peat pots after soaking and I have them on a heat mat. Any advice starting from seed?
How long are dried asparagus Roots good for after purchase? I have some that I didn't plant a couple years ago after purchasing them forgot about them this place them are they still good?
@NextLevelGardening me too guess we live in different parts. Sounds like SO Cal. I was in sacto area then moved into the mtns SE of there. 3k elevation changes everything 😉 thank you for your videos. I come away thinking "I can do that"
Brian, I have been trying to grow strawberry seedlings from seed. I am using Alexandria strawberry seeds. No matter how I try, I cannot get them to germinate. Might you have tips on this?
I bought bareroot strawberries as soon as I saw them at Lowe's 2 weeks ago. I planted them in my Greenstalk Leaf and they're already sending out new growth. Really looking forward to homegrown strawberries - so much better than the grocery store!
I learned a hard lesson with Asparagus a few years ago. I made the mistake of picking some the first year and never saw them again! I need to get some back into my garden . My favorite way to eat them is uncooked!!

that should read "almost as good"
Fab vlog Brian, I'm hoping my strawberry game as had poor results last year 🥰
You can do it!
I don't think you made it clear that strawberries and asparagus can be planted together. Asparagus is planted deeper and the strawberries are planted on the top layer and staggered amongst the asparagus.
They aren't planted together staggered. There are 2 rows of asparagus in back and the front row is strawberries

for grub eggs?

Same for strawberries. I'm not sure asparagus would thrive in containers
What month is best to start asparagus roots in WA state zone 8b?

Newbie gardener here in northeastern BC 🇨🇦. Was there a reason why you would plant strawberries in the same bed as the asparagus?
What kind of pest will my strawberries encounter and how do I combat them in my planters?
After being tempted to harvest 1 piece, the asparagus freaked out and thicker pieces started to come out. Coincidence?
Nice little Electric Slide for tamping down raised bed soil. 😆
I may have to try that with strawberries. I’ve been thinking about growing my own. Store bought is kind of bleh.
Strawberries, I hear what you're saying but I just cannot picture the cutting of the runners in my head. Any way you could do a tutorial showing this?
I will when it's time!
Watch out...dogs love asparagus, so protect the plants those first few years
I planted strawberries and my dirt sunk in my raised bed. What do you do then? Do you dig up the strawberry plant and put in more dirt?
Thats a good combo for a perennial bed! 👍
Electric fencing close to the ground will likely be the only thing that will keep bigger critters out
I have a garden bed of asparagus and been harvesting it already ...
Can asparagus be moved to a new location.. transplanted?
If you think you will have problems with birds or other critters wanting to eat your strawberries, you can paint a bunch of rocks red. Set the red rocks all over your strawberry bed. Hopefully that will discourage anything eating them when the strawberries start to produce.

You can do strawberries in LARGE pots. For severe winters (heavy snows), you probably want to over winter them in a garage.

I’m trying to grow both of these from seed. I just planted some in peat pots after soaking and I have them on a heat mat. Any advice starting from seed?
How long are dried asparagus Roots good for after purchase? I have some that I didn't plant a couple years ago after purchasing them forgot about them this place them are they still good?
Just planted mine😁👍
Nice 👍
I what state do you live where you have no frost?
California
@NextLevelGardening me too guess we live in different parts.
Sounds like SO Cal.
I was in sacto area then moved into the mtns SE of there. 3k elevation changes everything 😉 thank you for your videos. I come away thinking "I can do that"
Brian, I have been trying to grow strawberry seedlings from seed. I am using Alexandria strawberry seeds. No matter how I try, I cannot get them to germinate. Might you have tips on this?
Im sorry I dont. I have never had success with them either.
Thanks for sharing

I bought bareroot strawberries as soon as I saw them at Lowe's 2 weeks ago. I planted them in my Greenstalk Leaf and they're already sending out new growth. Really looking forward to homegrown strawberries - so much better than the grocery store!
They are! Good luck with them!
HELLO
Hi!
I learned a hard lesson with Asparagus a few years ago. I made the mistake of picking some the first year and never saw them again! I need to get some back into my garden . My favorite way to eat them is uncooked!!
I would have thought you would say grilled
@@NextLevelGardening I love them right out of the garden. Always ate them that way when I was a kid.
Awesome! Thank you💜👍
