{"product_id":"asparagus-mary-washington","title":"Asparagus Mary Washington","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the oldest and most common varieties, Asparagus Mary Washington is fast growing and extremely hardy. A succulent tender high yielding variety that produces delicious dark green colour spears with a purple tinge, Mary Washington is quite resistant to rust, making it an ideal variety for a more organic type of gardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest Asparagus spears from October to November and after November let spears grow out into proper ferns to allow the plants to regenerate and build strength for the following year. To allow plants time to create a good strong root system, plants must be in at least 18 months before the first very light harvest- only pick a few of the very fattest spears, leaving the rest to grow on. Asparagus prefers a full sun position, but will grow well in a lightly shaded spot. Ensure crowns are planted into a well prepared, well fertilised bed for optimum growth in the first few years. Regular topdressing in Winter will keep plants productive for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 2","offer_id":53828581753016,"sku":"PKASPMWA","price":13.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":53828581785784,"sku":"PKASPMWA5","price":26.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/asparagus-pkaspmwa-mary-washington.jpg?v=1785381013","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/asparagus-mary-washington","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
