Question:
Is it okay to transplant asparagus in July into hard soil?

Answer:
Asparagus likes lighter well drained soil. UT Assistant Professor of Residential and Consumer Horticulture Natalie Bumgarner recommends trying to use a raised bed to avoid the hard clay soil. Asparagus should be transplanted in the spring to allow it to grow all summer and prepare for winter.
