Asparagus
Asparagus Picking Tips, Recipes and Information
Asparagus is one of the first crops to harvest in the early
Spring. Asparagus is usually green, but there is a white (blanched)
version that has been
kept covered until harvested, so no light reaches it, and even a
purple version.
Pick your own asparagus
Pick your own asparagus is pretty rare in the U.S., much more
common in the U.K. and Europe. U-Pick white asparagus is REALLY hard
to find in the U.S.
Eckerts in Belleville, Illinois, has it.
To pick asparagus, just look for asparagus spears are about 6 to 10
inches above the soil line, are firm, with tightly closed tips.
Then just cut at the base (ground level) or snap each spear; they
usually snap off cleanly at the ground level.
The Old
farmer's Almanac has a good page about how to grow your own
asparagus, white or green. I've been growing it for years.
It's probably the easiest thing you can grow. And after you
harvest in the spring, you let it grow, and it produces 5 ft tall
fern-like leaves that make a nice background hedge at the back of
the garden. So don't plant it where it will block the sun from other
parts of the garden. The leaves suck up energy from the sun
and store it in the roots to produce next Spring;'s crop.
