A native perennial to the Mediterranean and cultivated for many centuries, a well planned asparagus bed will deliver tasty delicacies for decades. Rarely considered is the beauty of the mature plants with a lacy fern-like structure which develops after the harvest has ended for the season. While inedible, delicate red berries arrive on the female plants in the fall for a pop of late season color. Unless you can flash freeze asparagus, this is one vegetable to be enjoyed when it is fresh, and then eagerly awaited next season. Nutrients: dietary fiber, vitamins C, K, B6, and A, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanions:\u003c\/strong\u003e basil, marigold, nasturtium, parsley, tomatoes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAntagonists:\u003c\/strong\u003e none known.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"asparagus-mary-washington","title":"Asparagus Seeds - Mary Washington","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAsparagus officinalis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHEIRLOOM.
