Questions

When should I plant asparagus in Texas?

In Houston, plant out from January 5 to January 19. Across Texas the window opens between December 11 and March 18, 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.
