Asparagus
We grow two varieties of asparagus on our farm.
Jersey Knight will grow taller and still keep a tight head in our warm spring weather. Jersey Giant has to be picked shorter for the heads to remain tight, but will out produce the Jersey Knight 2 to 1. Contrary to popular belief, jumbo asparagus is just as tender as standard or pencil size.
