According to the distance of about 22 cm, a cross ditch with a depth of 7 cm was made, the sowing depth was 6 cm, and the spacing between adjacent seed pits was 2-3 cm. After planting, spray water, cover with base fertilizer, cover with fine soil until it is flush with the ditch surface, cover with straw mat at the top to reduce water and temperature loss, and the seeds will grow seedlings in about 20 days.

I. seed selection

Every autumn, from September to October, asparagus bears fruit, and gradually turns from green to red, which is the sign of fruit maturity. You can start to collect seeds. Put the fruits together, wait for fermentation, and choose the seeds with large particles and full vitality as a whole. If we can judge whether the mother is healthy or not, it is better to choose the one with vigorous growth.
