Irene duPont of whitefish , MT
asparagus
100% awsome. very hearty northern type of early blanching asparagus! High germination rate, makes spears thick as my fingers.
Irene duPomt of montana USA
Good germination rate,
I bought these same exact seed for three seasons in a row. Often there is a 99% germination rate. I have sold the leftovers of both the previous batches to neighbors. They germinate under grass and shoot up when mowed in june! Much fatter than mary washington and heartier in cold weather. I'm getting more to make a headge because it grows so well when direct seeded.
