Do I need to dig up and replant my asparagus? [View all]

First of all, I planted it mostly for decoration. I have no idea if the SF Bay Area is a good place to grow asparagus. I planted a six-pack last year. This year I have lovely ferns, but they are not standing upright. Do they need to be buried deeper? If I replant them can I expect to actually harvest something in the future?

Thanks for any advice.

Did you dig them into a trench when you buried them? MissB Apr 2012 #1

I started taking my asparagus after three years, and only the shoots that were about 1/2 inch.... dmosh42 Apr 2012 #2

No. Just keep the crowns and roots covered. HopeHoops Apr 2012 #3

They make a beautiful fluffy fern, and the small birds as well as dragonflies love them. Ruby Reason Apr 2012 #5
