ASPARAGUS UC157

 

'UC 157' is a variety especially suited for South African conditions. Though it takes up space in the garden and time for establishment, no other vegetable gives you as much in return as asparagus. The tall, feathery fronds blend nicely with other perennials and if well established, a bed can produce for up to 15 years. When picking a spot for your bed, find a sunny spot that is well drained that will not be disturbed for years to come Prepare soil, working in plenty of organic matter. Dig trenches that are about 30cm wide and 20cm deep. If planting more than one row, rows should be at least 600cm apart. In bottom of trenches, mound loose, humus-rich soil that is well composed and wet thoroughly. Sow seeds in Spring planting 3 seeds in each place 3cm deep, and afterward thinning out the weaker ones. It is very important that as plants grow, you continue to fill trench, never covering the growing tip. Keep soil moist, but not wet during this establishment period. Wait until the second year before harvesting. This will encourage a strong root system that will in turn yield nice asparagus.  Applications of liquid manure during the growing season will help.
