How to grow Asparagus from seed
Sow your seeds at the depth listed on the included instruction card and cover lightly.
Then set the clear humidity lid on top to hold warmth and moisture.
Keep the planter warm and in bright light, and mist the surface whenever it begins to dry.
When your Asparagus sprouts appear, remove the lid and move it to your brightest window or under a grow light.
Once seedlings have their second set of true leaves, pot them up or move them outdoors after your last frost.
