Asparagus

Asparagus seeds grow into nutrient-rich, perennial plants providing spears for 10-20+ years, requiring well-draining soil and patience as they take time (180-200 days) to mature, but offer a low-maintenance, long-term harvest once established, with harvesting usually starting after 2-3 years to build strong crowns. Growing from seed involves starting indoors early (Jan-Feb) and transplanting seedlings later for a reliable, healthy yield of spears.
