How to grow your own asparagus
Asparagus is a delicious early summer perennial vegetable grown for tender young shoots, known as spears. It’s a delicacy that might seem out of reach as a grow-your-own crop, as it needs space and long-term commitment. However, although you won’t be able to harvest all the spears for the first few years just a few until the plants build up full strength, it’s well worth the wait to get a full crop. Also, once established, an asparagus bed is relatively easy to maintain, and you can expect to reap the rewards for as long as 20 years.
