Good Morning Lori-Ann,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with growing asparagus and strawberries! I very much appreciate it and will add Asparagus to our list! I firmly believe in crowdsourcing and that we each have insights and experiences to share. It makes us all better to share our knowledge. So, truly thank you for taking the time to share your suggestion.

I hope it is gorgeous weather where you are today and that you are able to get out and garden! We plan to fit a little into our schedule today.

Hugs, Lynn

I just wanted to make a suggestion to consider as companion plants for strawberries that I use myself. Asparagus! Similar benefits to rhubarb. 😊 At least for me, I haven’t seen any bad effects yet in the five years mine have lived together.
It is deeper rooted than shallow strawberry, so doesn’t compete for soil space, and as both are perennial, it’s not a lot of fuss. The asparagus spears that you leave for the summer to strengthen your plants are tall and provide light shade, while the strawberry helps cover the soil to keep it’s roots cool. Add some chives to the corners of the bed and I’m good to go.
