Asparagus



Asparagus
Three years ago we planted asparagus crowns/roots in flower beds and watched them grow.  Last year and again this year we can harvest and enjoy eating the asparagus.  Fresh asparagus tastes very good; much better than canned versions.  This green vegetable is a healthy source of minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus) vitamin A, K and B6. 
 
I think the asparagus plant makes a pretty green, ferny looking background for some of the flowers we plant.  I’m enjoying my vegetable/flower gardens.
