I have bought 2 asparagus to plant this year and would like to know how big my plot needs to be. How much crop will 1 plant yield? Anne, Vic

Anne, We are also in cool/mountain Victoria. Our plants are about 6 years old. We bought about a dozen plants. Two plants will not provide very much to eat. I suggest you buy some more plants this winter. Our asparagus bed is about 5 metres by 1 metre. The plants will produce berries in summer and these will produce seedlings but this is a slow process of multiplication.
