Grow Your Own Asparagus

Did you know that asparagus is loaded with nutrients? It's full of fiber, folate, vitamins A,C, E & K as well as chromium. It's also packed full of antioxidants, helps prevent and fight cancer, is great for anti-aging and acts as a natural diuretic.

I had no idea really until I did a little research on the subject.

Asparagus is also one of the first foods available in the garden in the springtime. And the greatest part is that it's a true perennial, returning year after year. Most gardeners that I know have been able to keep their crops going for 20 to 40 years.
