Ive had a quick look through the farming topics , my wife has started growing asparagus from seed and the plants are now starting to grow , but many of them seem to be infected by a fungus / rot . Ive done an internet search , but many results relate to non Thai articles and different growing conditions.

My wife does have a friend who grows asparagus but they are away for a few weeks , so we can't ask any questions .

Any one here growing Asparagus in Thailand ?

Hi and thanks for the advice , the links are a bit old ( 2008 ) and the rest from my self on another Asparagus related question

I was hoping for some one who is actually growing Asparagus in Thailand , even possibily a new forum member , who I can ask a question about our current fungus / rot problem .

Not growing it but just ate some. For those of you having "Stiffness problems" with kitty this stuff is a sure bet along with celery heads and a healthy lifestyle who needs supplements then?

One might possibly confuse the growth coming from my nose or around my ears for asparagus...have had no insect or fungus problems to date...

Asparagus, is a funny little plant, some what like artichokes. It takes time for them to multiply. Over watering affects both of these species. In history, they are called centennial plants, which means they can last up to 100 years. I wouldn't expect much from them for at least 4 years, as it is with Artichokes.... they do like cool weather winters, so maybe it depends upon where you live... There are many good videos on Youtube, if you want to watch them. Thais often over water these plants, and living half way across the world, here in the USA, my wife thinks more water is better. If you do have a fungus, I would suggest cutting back on water, and let the plant tell you. My wife here loves to eat asparagus, but I have to tell her we are not growing rice. Even here in Las Vegas, Nevada, we are growing thai vegetables, Jujubee trees, and Kapow... Maybe do some research on different varieties of asparagus. Did she get the seeds from her friend? Just a thought...

Good luck.... kilosierrawai2.gifwai2.gifwai2.gif

Thanks for the commets thumbsup.gif

My wife finally managed to talk to her friend and its now confirmed the majority of our seedlings have a fungle problem called ... Asparagus Anthracnose

We originally planted around 4,000 locally bought seeds , but it seems that due to the rain and poor land drainage we now have this problem .

The fungus area is shown below , it becomes brown and brittle .

We are having to now start again by growing new seeds but this time in trays and bags so we can control the water content and feeding .

Its a learning process , but an interesting one .
