Asparagus in a Zone 7 season
Zone 7 gives about 202 frost-free days. Asparagus needs roughly 365 days from transplant. That is longer than the outdoor season here, so this one needs an indoor start, and even then it may want a tunnel or row cover to finish.
How to grow asparagus
Plant crowns in a deep trench in early spring. A long-lived perennial, don't harvest the first year or two while it establishes.
