This vegetable is said to be planted once and can be harvested continuously for 10 years. Although some exaggeration, but planting once can indeed harvest for many years, adaptability is very strong. It can be grown in most parts of the country.
It is drought and barren resistant. It especially likes sandy and hungry soils. For example, it is very suitable to grow this vegetable in some beach areas. In addition, it can be harvested for many years in a row within a year and is also known as a lazy vegetable. This vegetable is a very popular green vegetable:Asparagus. Why is asparagus called a green vegetable?
Asparagus is a perennial herb in the family Asparagus asparagus. Underground stems like bamboo shoots grow above ground and are green in color. Because they can be harvested and eaten directly from the ground, they are absolutely free of any contamination. For this reason, they are also known as pure green, pollution-free vegetables. Asparagus that have not broken the ground are white and are known as white bamboo shoots.
When they come out of the ground, they are green and are known as green bamboo shoots. They are fresh, tender, flavorful and nutritious vegetables. Asparagus grows in the north and south of China. Due to the low environmental requirements, the planting area remains relatively large. In the previous period when the weather was warm, the price was only 2-3 yuan per catty. However, as temperatures drop in the north and winter approaches, the price of asparagus will begin to soar in the near future. Local prices have risen to more than 10 yuan a pound.
The high price of asparagus naturally makes growers happy. At this time of year, asparagus fields in the North have withered and begun to overwinter. Only the South can produce asparagus. In recent years, the price of asparagus has been very low. In addition, the planting area is too large and the sales volume is not particularly good. This has led many growers to abandon asparagus cultivation and replace the land on which it is grown with other crops. This has also led to a reduction in the area under cultivation. In addition, now that winter is approaching, many asparagus can no longer be produced, the demand is increasing, the production capacity is declining, the price naturally seems high.
