This asparagus is grown from seeds which were sent by my friend from Holland in 2011. Initially it was grown in a polystyrene box, but it only produce small shoot because it is a heavy feeder and requires a lot of water. But i rarely fertilize it. I have to fertilize it fortnightly if i want big shoots. So it was moves to the ground. I made a raised bed whereby the bottom is filled with coconut husk and sheep dropping to maintain the dampness and fertilize it.
This blog purpose is to share my success and failures in gardening in a tropic. I have no particular liking to any plant/ flower but once it caught my attention there is no other way for me but to have it. Since I’ve all the local plant that i fancy, now i cast my eyes far away, temperate flower/plant. Hence the existence of My Experimental Garden Blog. Hope you enjoy my blog.
