I love all the sounds of wilderness around you! So beautiful and refreshing
I just bought asparagus today. I had no idea what I was going to do. I thougth about container gardening and looked around on youtube on how to do this...this video was the best, most informational, and loved that you showed as time went by, what to do.
Great videoing. I look forward to this spring when you share another update of these asparagus.
Thank you for having us as part of your RUclips family. My kids and I just finished our morning devotional and the 5 year old said: Is it time for Bing Bing now? I about fell out my chair.
LOL. 🐶
Thank you very much for the time making video through out the year!!

Thank you for such informative easy to watch and and understand videos. Im in ausrralia and just tryng for the first time to grow asparagus in pots.your videos gave me so many good tips.
I am now a subscriber you are such a great teacher. I have never seen asparagus grow to see the berry’s and you advising their poisonous first I’ve heard that told so thank you. Oh my goodness what a pretty garden area you lived in. Now your on a larger property I wonder if you miss those trees so colourful in autumn.
Welcome! We love being in Florida and the beautiful green trees. :-)
Thanks for this very comprehensive and detailed video.

You guys are fantastic.
+Zeke Holmes
Thank you so much! Have a peaceful week ❤️❤️🐶
Hello Hollis and Nancy. Can not tell you how happy I found your videos and now that you are in FL, its even better! I live in zone 10a in FL. I planted asparagus in containers last fall and they are just as happy as can be, thanks to your instructions! My question is: after I cut back the dry shoots (after they die back for fall) how to I replenish the nutrients for next season??
Thank you so much for these awesome videos!
+Danielle Molloy
You are very welcome. So glad you like them. Have a peaceful week😍
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing information!!!
+Vanessa Littleton
Thank you so much for watching Vanessa!! Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
Great video ! I planted a total of 65 Millenium and Purple Passion Asparagus plants in the ground 6 weeks ago and they are about 1/8" in diameter at best and some are 2 feet tall at best but most are much smaller. Hoping they grow alot more so they can survive the winter here in Massachusetts.
Thank you wonderful video!
just to let u know i planted the potatoes in a tote the one that i started in the water was the first to come through the soil. i planted four other chits and they are comeing up slower but three are through the dirt and still waiting on the fourth to show its head. i am so excited will try and let you know as it progresses.
Thank you ever so much for sharing a complete and thorough explanation of how asparagus grows. Your dedication to explaining season to season is wonderful - I finally understand what growing asparagus is all about... Time to plant! Thank you and blessings -- !
+Debra Robert
Thank you so much Debra 👍. So glad the video helped you o learn how to do this process. Keep your eyes peeled for the asparagus harvest video. We should be releasing it in the next few days ❤️
Love watching your videos on gardening...Nancy does a great job with the camera..you keep them coming and I'll keep enjoying them..We just bought a 6 acre homestead and we're slowly getting a plan in place (around the horses, goats chickens etc)
Cheers from Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada

+Paul Sweitzer
Thanks for watching! Your new homestead sounds so exciting!!! Best of luck to you as you get set up. Peace to you😇
this is rocky's wife i am in to bad of health to do outside gardening but i really enjoy watching you and your wife i am in huntsville, alabama. do you ever do anything about your fishing i love to watch people catch fish i can not go anymore because of my breathing i have copd and have treatments 4 times a day so i am most home bound that is why i am doing my potatoes in the house.
Asparagus is something I have never had success with--- I love your method!!! Thank you, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!
+Elaine Matthews
Merry Christmas to you too!😇
Thanks for sharing !
You are very welcome. Enjoy your garden this year❤️
I wish I had watched you before I spent 7.00 on small window planters. I love the idea of using lowes buckets for the asparagus I bought. I just moved to az and still learning about growing here. keep up the videos there awesome.
+Michelle Collie
Thank you so much for watching 😍😍🐶
I really learned a lot with growing asparagus. I have mine in raised beds and I see I planted them wrong. Some didn't even make it. I will be planting some more this spring but I'll do it right. Thank you so much for your wisdom.
+Carolyn McCranie
Thanks for watching Carolyn! Enjoy your garden this spring👍
Oh my goodness.. I'm glad I saw this video as I was about to get rid of my asparagus because they look like yours... I thought they were dead,lol... Thanks for the tip... will clip them back tomorrow..
+Garden On Deck
Glad you saw the video!!!! You should be able to start harvesting some next spring👍
Following...love your videos
LOVE your videos and intro
+JOE KOSLOWSKI
Thanks for watching Joe! Have a great day👍
Great video. I’ve watched since you planted the asparagus. Will they be ok when it rains? God Bless you 🙏🏾
Perfect, mine are ready to be cut back... I was wondering what I was suppose to do with them. Your the best!
+AsintheDaysofNoah
Awesome!! Perfect timing😇
Great presentation, I neglected my asparagus and they are skinny sticks. This weekend I'll put mine to bed. We'll see how they turn out. yours look beautiful. Happy Holidays!
+Marsha Balderrama
It is ok if they are skinny. Just let them grow another year. They increase in size each spring. Only harvest the nice big ones each spring and leave the rest for another year
I have 7 - 1/2 barrels with asparagus. I can finally eat some, spring of 2018. I'm excited...in mean time, Kroger had it for .99 cents a lb...so I have stocked up, oh some. God is good
Great instructional video! Thank you! Wondering though, I presume I could chop up the dried up ferns and add them to the mulch, correct? Of course, picking off the seed berries so they won't compete with the "mother" plant in the event they self sprout.
Thanks for this growing guide! I just got asparagus seeds & had no idea how to grow them! I also recently seen your RUclips channel on CBN on TV when I was up in Cleveland just before Thanksgiving!
+Sergio Perez
I would recommend starting out with Two Year Old Asparagus Crowns and save several years off your harvest. Yes, the little story on The 700 Club was a real blessing😇
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead Amen! I didn't know that that was on the 700 Club, I had just been flipping through the channels at the hotel & I stopped when I seen you lol. To God be the Glory because with the timing I knew I was meant to see it!! & Thank you for your recommendation. & also thanks again for your videos! My sweet potato plants are doing well & flowering in containers & im hoping for a 1st winter harvest next month or so!!
+Sergio Perez
God is so good. Best of luck to you on your garden!!
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead All The Time!!! Thank you & you too! God Bless y'all!
Will you please do a spring update when you harvest?
+Kamaria Sauda
Will do👍👍
Hollis and Nancy. Thank you for the lessons on asparagus. Mine have been in the ground for 3 years and have totally fizzed.We got 2 spears and ferns were only eighteen inches high. Thanks again for your time and your effort.John in Australia.
+John Hammond
Thanks for watching John! Sounds like your asparagus need more phosphorus. Try adding lots of Bone Meal.👍👍👍
Hollis and Nancy.Thank you very much for very prompt reply and advice. I'll try it.Kind regardsJohn in Australia.
+John Hammond
Best of luck to you John👍
Thank you for sharing your experience, it's very helpful. Do we need to water it during the winter time?
Yes you do
I'm dying up here in Canada to have winter over! Just so I can plant!
+Robert Janes
Burrr!!! We can't wait to move to Florida in August!!!
Excellent video. I just planted 9 in a square raised bed. It's summer here in Sydney, Australia so I will top up the soil and mulch. Can't wait to see your harvest
+Carol Ann
Raised bed is the way to go. I only demonstrated how to grow them in containers for folks that don't have a yard
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead mine have died back. I was wondering if you could tell me where to cut them back - at ground level? Or do you leave a little poking up?
+Carol Ann
Just a little poking up
Very interesting thank you, I didn't know much about growing this, no wonder it costs 3$ a pound at the store, it takes time and patience. Merry Christmas !
+Jen Dyson
Time is money! LOL. If you set up a raised bed and get it going, you can harvest some each spring. The plants will last 20+ years.
Great video But how do you grow Hollandaise sauce?. Love all your video and your sweet wife cooking video. May God Bless y'all and Merry Christmas. Remember safety is number one on your Homestead.
+william burnett
LOL😍😍. Thank you for watching! Nancy loves making her cooking videos. Thanks for your words of encouragement for her. Yes, Merry Christmas to you too😍
Looking good! Nice size. I like to start some of my asparagus from seed and I leave them in patio containers for at least 1 full year. I've started well over 1000 plants this way. I really like what you've done with yours.
+MrChipGardener
Thanks for watching. We are moving
To a rural homestead in Florida next summer. Planning to build a 4' x 20' raised bed for asparagus when we get there. 👍
That's awesome! What part of Florida? Florida is like my 2nd home as my parents have a vacation property there since the 80's.
+MrChipGardener
I was born and raised in Jacksonville. We are looking at a small town just north of Jacksonville called Hilliard. That area has lots of urban properties and will be close to my daughter. We are so excited 😇
Great show. Do you see any problem with using pine shavings as a mulching agent? Live on a horse farm so stall shavings are readily available.
thanks for all the wonderful video, getting a good head start planting...I noticed you don't have any fences do you have issue with animals and people
+Digishots Photography
We have a rabbit fence around the garden. Didn't have any problems for years but rabbits infested our neighborhood. Had to add a fence a couple of years ago. Problem solved
Did you guys move the asparagus pots with you when you moved to the country.if so how are they doing.love yalls videos.and God Bless.
Hollis and Nancy, I love your videos. Thank you both for making them. Where do you get the large plastic tubs with the rope handles as shown in the container asparagus videos?
Lowes
Are the containers food grade?
can we grown asparagus in this monh january , love your chanel ̣ , thamk you
Decided not to grow given the sunlight requirements and work and space involved since i can get them reduced at the supermarket for a pittance. But they are quite pretty as plants.
Did you move them down to Florida because, I have not seen them on the new homestead. I planted the same variety and mine are now 4 years old. I really enjoyed them this spring and had to be careful to leave my tithe for the Lord. They sure are wonderful.
Yes we did
Blessings
Love watching your videos! ❤️
May I ask how often were you watering the asparagus in the pots, please and thank you for your wonderful videos! 😎
I usually watered them each morning
@@HollisNancysHomestead Oh thank you so much! I was just wondering. Might be giving it a try, I do like asparagus 😋👍
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead you water them every day since putting them in pots?
Yes
I wonder if you could use tomato cage to support the ferns. Would that work?
How long before cutting back the fern did the asparagus get watered? I assume the next watering would be after frost.
When you trim the ferns, do you compost the tops you cut off?
Every time I use seeding straw it ends up sprouting weeds. Do you have any suggestions on preventing this? God bless!
I live in a 10b area so should I still use the straw mulch since I don’t get any snow in the winters?
Great info about the seeds being poison. Thank you. Where did you get your EZ-Straw
+Nancy Poulin
Tractor supply company
Thank you :)
very helpful video. thank you. what state or zone are you in:?
I loved this. I want to do it on raised bed, but I prefer containers so I can take it with me whenever Or if I move just because it take such a long time to grow. One question, will it survive throw snow? I live in Kansas City and we get snow sometimes.
+golden torch
Thanks for watching! Yes, they will tolerate the snow. Have a peaceful weekend😍😍🐶
Thanks for this video. I did not know that they could be grown in pots or containers. Do you think that they can be grown in south Louisiana? We do have a lot of heat during the summer and at time plenty of rain. You and Nancy have a Happy Holiday Season.
+Robert McMeel
They should thrive in Louisiana.
I'm planning to plant crowns in the ground. I live in zone 8 b, Natchitoches LA...today is feb 22...is it too early to plant now?
Florida has a lot of pine trees. Is it wise to collect the fallen pine needles to use as mulch?
Pine needles are Very acidic, not many plant choices for growing near or under evergreen tree.
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Im in south Texas area
Do you water the asparagus during winter?
Straw reflects sun...yea.
+cushiteone
Thanks for watching
What if I grow this in Malaysia. I have seen this being planted in some mountainous areas but didn't see how it was managed as there's no 4 seasons here how do I tell when to cut them down?
Since I live in a 10b area and never gets any snow in the winters, should I still use the straw mulch?
Not required for snow or ice but helps with water moisture retention
How are the asparagus doing? Mine have been in the round for 6years and this year I'm digging them
Up and planting them
In tubs like yours.
+EmmaMorgan09
We harvested some yesterday, Nancy used them in a stir fry. I ate some raw. They are extremely tasty ❤️
love the videos, where did you purches the EZ mulch
+Linda McNary
Thanks for watching Linda! I got mine at Tractor Supply Company. Here is a link:
www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ez-straw-mulch-with-tack-2-1-2-cu-ft
thank you
Is end of may too late to plant in s.c.?
thank you so much for this video iv been waiting for this video update I cut mine back months ago and they haven't grown back since and we were in a severe drought here in Georgia even after Hurricane Matthew I'm in Zone 7b, will they grow back in the spring since I cut them back in the summer there 2 year old roots I think
+Shakena Mincey
They should not be cut back if they are still green. If they don't emerge in the spring they are most likely dead. You can replant and give it another try. Remember, it is not failure if we learn from it. Don't give up, you are now more experienced. We learn more from our mistakes than we do from our successes
I figured that lol ,I have one root that is still green from the whole patch that I planted that I didn't cut and survived the drought , so I'll wait to see what happens in the spring ,thanks for the help Happy Holidays and God Bless you guys
+Shakena Mincey
Peace to you 😍
Would it be a good idea to plant strawberries in large pots together with asparaguses?
I would not plant anything in the pots with them. They have a massive root system and will starve the berries
When the asparagus get root bound in a few years can I re-pot them or plant them into the ground? I don’t have ground space now, but probably will in a few years.
Yes you can transplant them👍
loved this video. where do you get your Containers? I am going to be retiring soon and want to start growing my own vegetables.
+Karen Hightower
Congratulations on your retirement!!! So happy for you. You will love spending time in your garden every morning. It is such a place of peace 😇😇.
I purchased the containers shown in this video at LOWES. I now purchase all my containers online from Zen Hydro. They have professional grade containers for the same price as the containers I was buying at LOWES. I am very pleased with their containers. Here is a link to their website:
www.zenhydro.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=plastic%20pots&Trigger=ac#1
@@HollisNancysHomestead
I went to the website at the link you posted but I can't find any growing containers - except growing bags which they are apparently out of. I say apparently because even though they don't tell you it's out of stock on their product page (which they should) they then take you to a page that says "you have 0 items in your cart." Then you have to try to navigate back to their product page - which can only be done by returning to the home page and starting all over at the beginning...which I did several times - and got the same message and had to repeat the entire process. VERY FRUSTRATING.
This website is NOT user friendly. I finally gave up on them. I can't waste any more time on a website that can't be bothered to make itself user accessible. I would call them for assistance but they don't even list a business phone number on their contact page.
Never mind. I'll look elsewhere.
I’m sorry Jaime. Some of these websites really need some upgrades
Could you have used oak leaves instead of straw?
Where do you get the straw mulch? Thanks!
Have a blessed Christmas and joyous New Year!
