I ought to plant some more, but not sure which place is good - need ~10-15 roots of something not too fancy, not too expensive shipping, decent quality.
Nourse out of MA sells them.

Based on your comment about planting more, I’m assuming that you already have established asparagus plants. Accordingly, I would just dig up a few of them and divide the crowns. For example, I gave my neighbor 7 or 8 sections of asparagus crowns from two plants that I dug up last month.

My plants are a wee small - transplanted from old bunch near house to garden last spring but they wound up getting overtaken some by the rhubarb (also transplanted; other side of house) - I always underestimate space. Anyway, transplanted some of them over again to more space, but still small.
Was thinking of ‘kidnapping’ a few wild asparagus from roadsides, but was reading that they often don’t respond well, so figured I’d just buy some (and I have mapped the wild asparagus, for collection to eat)…

I was also going to recommend Nourse.

I found this place:
ww.hgigreenhousefarms.com
a sort of local downstate (MI) place that people seem to like locally (down there). Also shipping for 35 crowns (as usual more than I need/have room for but) was ~$7.50 so quite a bit less than further-off places.
I’ll complain & whine here if they screw up!
Decided to try some millennium & Jersey Supreme.
I might have to ‘guerrilla’ some offsite if I run out of room (more wild asparagus never a bad thing; I have numerous sites mapped for spring visits)
