Muhammad - I'm going to reveal someth...Thanks!<br /><br />Muhammad - I'm going to reveal something big here. I really love to grow vegetables, but don't really like to EAT vegetables. I was traumatized at an early age when my mom forced me to eat greens when the taste made me almost vomit. I've acquired a taste for more veggies in the past 10 years or so. My daughter pushed me to try the asparagus the other night - it was my first time. I always thought asparagus smelled bad, but I was really surprised at how nice the taste was - it had almost a nutty taste, but unfortunately, I cannot compare to green! This purple asparagus does turn green upon cooking though. <br /><br />Lynn - I'm pretty pleased with this asparagus (well, reletively speaking of course, I tend to grow miniature vegetables). This is the fourth year I believe. I left it totally alone for the first 2. I think about half died leaving me only about 3 crowns. The past 2 years, I harvested just a bit (like everyone gets one spear!). This year, I'm happy with how fat the spears are! <br /><br />Kristin - The past 2 years, this asparagus has come up in the spring (as usual) and again in the fall - always a nice surprise b/c I'm always convinced everything has died around this time! <br /><br />Alice - looking forward to reading your post!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-37333569490680274152009-09-02T20:20:31.011-04:002009-09-02T20:20:31.011-04:00So I'm assuming purple asparagus is a much lat...So I'm assuming purple asparagus is a much later variety? I always considered asparagus strictly an early spring vegetable.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-77669619881706114842009-09-02T11:06:06.599-04:002009-09-02T11:06:06.599-04:00Purple asparagus?
