Plant This Fruit Alongside Your Asparagus For A Bountiful Harvest
By DANIELLE RAMOS-SULLIVAN
In traditional garden planning, established plant pairings are often relied upon. However, an unconventional, yet highly beneficial match-up, is that of grapes and asparagus.
Planting grapes and asparagus together optimizes sunlight usage due to their shared need for full sun, while their distinct growth patterns maximize garden space.
Asparagus will grow vertically to a height of 4-8 feet, leaving ample sunlight for grapevines. This ensures both plants receive the necessary energy without competing for resources.
Additionally, since both of them are perennials, you only need to plant them once. As for the soil, both grapes and asparagus require well-drained soil for optimal growth.
Moreover, the harvest seasons of grapes and asparagus conveniently complement each other. Asparagus is typically harvested in spring when grapevines require minimal attention.
When the grape harvest kicks off from late summer to mid-fall, your asparagus patch will rest and replenish for the following season, allowing you to focus on the task at hand.
