Asparagus Argentalskaya, seeds Russian vegetable garden 1g

Asparagus (Asparagus) is gaining popularity among those who understand a lot about tasty and healthy food. Young, juicy, tender asparagus shoots that grow from rhizomes in spring are very tasty and contain many vitamins. They are used for preparing first and second courses, freezing and canning. White asparagus is the most popular delicacy in Germany and is very expensive there. Therefore, growing it in the garden is a profitable venture, especially since harvesting can begin as early as mid-April. For the successful cultivation of this culture, a place is required, one plant brings up to 12 shoots per season (and this is only 2 servings of a side dish). That is why asparagus is so highly prized. For planting white asparagus, choose a quiet and shady place. You can dilute asparagus with seeds, but you will get a faster harvest if you buy asparagus root, as the first crop gives a three-year-old plant. Shoots are cut when they are 15-20 cm above the ground. You need to eat asparagus fresh, immediately after harvest. In the summer, asparagus is fertilized, for the winter it is mulched with humus, leaves or wood chips. If you give several shoots to grow, then, in addition to a delicious vegetable, you will also get an ornamental plant that can be collected in bouquets or simply left to decorate the garden.
