This afternoon I took advantage of the good weather today to transplant the asparagus crowns into the top bed. I spent some time Friday weeding it so that everything would be ready to go. I still had some kale and bok choy in the bed and instead of just cutting it all, I transplanted the kale to the bottom bed so that I can continue to use it fresh. It was looking a little wilted after I moved it, but the soil is pretty wet and it is supposed to rain later.
For the asparagus, I dug up the top area and made a path down the center of the bed, separating the asparagus I already planted there and the new stuff I'm going to be planting. The path is to create the raised bed I want, and to have a defined area to walk, as opposed to walking in amongst the asparagus. The asparagus was planted in 2 rows about 2 feet between the rows and a foot or so between plants. I also planted a few plants among the existing plants to fill in a few bare spots, as well as the extra area I added last year that had the garlic.
