Asparagus is one of the first vegetables ready to harvest in the spring and also one of the few perennial vegetables grown in the garden. They thrive in temperate climates where the ground freezes. The spring thaw and warming temperatures prompt the spears to emerge from the ground.
Whether simply steamed, grilled, roasted, or incorporated into a recipe, asparagus brings the taste of green freshness to the table. So, do you want to know how to plant them?
