Questions

When should I plant asparagus in Florida?

In Jacksonville, plant out from January 4 to January 18. Across Florida the window opens between December 18 and February 21, depending on the local last frost.

How is this date worked out?

Set out crowns 2–4 weeks before the last frost. Frost dates are NOAA 1991–2020 averages for the weather station nearest each city.
