Re: asparagus
Hi
I am Diane and I live out on the Mojave Desert in California. My husband
and I were just talking about asparagus and I admitted that outside of
knowing someone who raised it in Tucson when I lived there 20 years ago I
have had no experience with it other than eating it and looking at the
price of it in the market. I would be interested in all the information
that can be offered on the subject. I have the space for a long narrow
raised bed blocked from the afternoon sun which is the killer here and also
blocked from the canyon winds coming down from the high Sierra Mountains.
Thanks
