asparagus crowns

[dazer]

Hi I brought some asparagus crowns from B&Q today they came in a bag, i no i cannot plant them this early, but how do i look after them until such time i can.
Im worried about the roots because they look dry and they have been in the shop for a few weeks any ideas on this please

Get the roots into water ASAP!!!

They shouldn't be allowed to dry out.

OK- so presuming you have rescued them..pot them into compost in pots after a day or two.
Then keep them moist!

Fingers crossed they'll be OK

Oh..and welcome to the Vine dazer!!!

Thanks for that but i ve just looked at the pack again and it says before planting remove packaging and soak for 2 hours i think that is to rehydrate them i think its ok to leave them

[Nicos]

I wouldn't!!!!

No, neither would I !
