| Hello all, I'd like to plant asparagus for the first time this year. The place I have thought of planting it gets full sun in the late spring-early fall but in the winter would receive very little sun. Would this work? Thanks! Rachael |

| Are you in USDA climate zone 10? If so, asparagus won't grow in your location. |

| actually, I know lots of people in zone 9b, Phoenix who do quite well with asparagus. This is in a climate with usually 3 full months of temps around 105, many days to 115. I've seen summers where the temperature for 1-2 weeks can be above 115 and we had a high of 119 a few times. Also, there are some winters with no frosts or freezes. Most zone 10 climates have less extreme high temperatures. |
