Asparagus: From Ancient Riverbanks to Modern Gardens
#asparagus #food #garden #blog #history
Asparagus is a crop steeped in history, dating back to ancient Roman and Egyptian civilizations. It thrives in the wild along riverbanks in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Wild asparagus, which is thinner and less uniform than the cultivated variety, has long been foraged by communities.
It’s officially asparagus season. I just made this delicious soup, that also happens to have a good amount of protein and is vegan! Highly recommend if you have lots of extra asparagus on hand like we do. #Asparagus #SpringCooking
Mushroom Asparagus Quiche
Ingredients
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano, parsley and rubbed sage
Directions
Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles; place in an ungreased 9-in. pie plate with points toward the center. Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust; seal perforations. Spread with mustard; set aside.
In a large skillet, saute the asparagus, onion and mushrooms in butter until asparagus is crisp-tender. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in asparagus mixture. Pour into crust.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting

Kiwi friends, have you seen these??(!) "Wee Sticks"', flavoured freeze dried asparagus. 
There's a range of flavours. If you're in Nelson, you can get them at Connings.
... And no, I'm not keen on trying them ..

Thought I'd try a bag of frozen asparagus last night (microwaved). Nope. That's no way to treat an elegant vegetable.
Fresh asparagus, oven roasted or steamed from here on out. 
I'm back on my grind. Started 2 kinds of #sprouts. #sourdoughstarter & #homemadeyogurt.
Me & my family have severe #allergies, we'll be affected as regulations that protect food transparency are stripped.
Rebuilding the #chickencoop & adding more #urbangarden. We have #pawpaw #fig #beachplum #raspberry #blackberry #mulberry #blueberry #asparagus #horseradish #rhubarb #maple 1/8 acre space. We grow seasonal herbs/veggies. Plus loofah
Future: quail, rabbits, more trees. #leftisthomesteading
The hidden cost of cheap asparagus as grower leaves crop to rot: Ed Fagan's family has been growing asparagus in the NSW central west since the 1950s, but he says supermarket prices and a tight labour market have forced him to abandon the crop. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-23/asparagus-growers-abandon-crop-supermarket-prices-drop/104819678?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #SupermarketPricing #Asparagus #farming

@docdieterlen Home grown asparagus is wonderful. A variety helps spread out the harvest. Good luck with your crown research. #gardening, #growyourown, #asparagus.
Ordering asparagus crowns soon, and wondering which variety to choose.
Particularly uncertain about ratio of male to female plants or all male cultivars. Is there a plus having female plants?
Also, purple vs green?
I'm USDA zone 6a, sandy soil heavily amended with compost.
