Master Gardener Laura Simpson also helps a reader with growing asparagus and identifying a bug.
, that poor tree dropped all its leaves and never recovered.A:. The plants like slightly acidic, sandy soil and lots of elbow room. Our soil is generally on the alkaline side and concrete-like. This can be corrected with lots of soil amendments. Asparagus doesn’t compete well with weeds or tree roots, and it should be planted in a place where it can get full sun most of the day. After harvesting, allow the ferns to grow so that the crowns can recover for next season.
The stalks can be harvested until they start to come up thin . This indicates that the crowns are done for the season and you need to stop cutting. Don’t keep harvesting until the stalks are super-thin – this will stress the plants and may reduce next year’s crop. If your stalks start out straight, then come up curled, you may have to stop harvesting earlier.
Q: Can you tell me what is growing on the tender tips of my Satsuma leaves? Is this a good bug or a bad bug?Those winged insects are hoverflies – definitely good bugs! They look like itty-bitty bees to me because of their yellow and black stripes. You can see that there are some aphids present, but not nearly enough to be a problem for the tree., can reduce pest insect populations to a point where they won’t cause serious damage, but they usually don’t completely eliminate them.
I like to point out that perfectionism is incompatible with gardening. You never want to get rid of all the pests because they feed the beneficials.Looking for more gardening tips? Here’s how to contact the Master Gardener program in your area.
