Asparagus Help/Recommendations

[Becca]

This is so completely off topic here...but I am needing some recommendations on what type of asparagus our members are growing. I would like to start a couple raised beds of asparagus and have been trying to read up on what the most delicious varieties are. I would like to try Larac, but I can't seem to find any crowns or seeds anywhere. I also read that UC 157 is good and I am able to find it but wanted to get some input from others before taking the plunge since I know it will be a few years before I can harvest it. I would also be interested to know if those who are growing asparagus started from seed or from crowns.

TIA!
