High Yield All Male Hybrid Asparagus Plant once, harvest for decades! Dr. Howard Ellison of Rutgers University spent 35 years searching for the secret of super productive, disease resistant asparagus, and we are proud to offer the fruits of his research. Jersey Knight yields almost twice as many spears as the old Washington strains and requires far less labor to maintain. These all-male hybrid crowns are resistant to all the major asparagus diseases and will be ready to harvest the year after planting, with yields rising each spring until maturity
Purple Passion- Prolific, large, good flavor, open pollinated purple variety. Grown just like regular asparagus!A striking new variety of asparagus, vigorous and productive as green types, but with deep purple stem color that adds that last touch to cold salads and cruditιs. Steam briefly (less than two minutes) to preserve the rich color. The dark purple stems stand out in the garden, making them easier to see, and easier to harvest.
For the ultimate in gourmet treats, heap hay over the row six inches deep and the spears will grow up through it; harvest at soil level just as they peek through for pale white asparagus.
Roots Available in Spring Only.

The delicious beans turn green when cooked. Mexican bean beetles avoid this variety. Beans are one of your best bets for yield and versatility.
If the soil has warmed before the average last-frost date, an early planting may be made a 7-10 days before frost date. Assure a continuous supply of snap beans by planting every 2-4 weeks until early August. Harvest when the pods are firm, crisp and fully elongated, but before the seed within the pod has developed significantly. Pick beans after the dew is off the plants, and they are thoroughly dry. Picking beans from wet plants can spread bean bacterial blight, a disease that seriously damages the plants.
