Where to buy asparagus crowns

Posted by Richard Grevers on May 28, 2012 at 2:32am

Where can we source asparagus crowns, with reasonable shipping to Taranaki? Preferably organic.

 

Are there any varieties suited to our rainforest climate? (400m up, a bit cooler than the coast). Our soil is acidic and very free draining (volcanic ash).

      Yes, I replied directly by email a couple of days ago - did that not make it through? Let me check and re-send it.

    I was also wondering, I wish I had dug out my crowns from my last garden before I moved.

    I am not bothered about them being organically grown as I cannot see that there will any anything transferred to the shoots, especially as you don't start harvesting for a couple of years, by which time anything you didn't want in there would be long gone.
