About Asparagus

Asparagus is a long-lived perennial vegetable that can produce for 15+ years. It is highly unconventional for terraces because it requires massive, deep containers for its extensive crown root system and takes 2-3 years to yield its first spears, rewarding only the most patient gardeners.
