Perennial Gardens
Asparagus Asparagus
What if we told you that we could plant your garden with asparagus, and with minimal work, it will continue to produce succulent spears of asparagus for up to 50 years. The sooner you establish the garden, the more you can save over the years. Asparagus has been a gourmet item for much of human history. It was grown and consumed in Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece and in all cases was considered both food and medicine. Modern science has revealed more evidence of the health benefits of Asparagus. It is chock full of vitamin A, C, K, and B and provides the body with a large dose of folate to combat heart disease. It is also very good for the digestive system, providing Inulin to develop healthy intestinal fauna, and provides the benefits of a mild diuretic. Asparagus can be harvested for 6 weeks in season. Daily cuttings provide a wealth of fresh, nutritious asparagus for 16% of the year. Well established plants can yield up to 1 lb per year. For the remainder of the year, the plant becomes an attractive fern that increases the aesthetics of any landscape. Look forward to healthy springs for the next 50 years with your new asparagus garden. |
Strawberry Explosion
Whether you are 8 or 80, strawberries are one of life's great joys. They add color to our yards, nutition to our meals and snacks, and excitement to our palates. There really is nothing like the taste of a strawberry fresh from the yard; of all the fruits, the strawberry packs the greatest proportion of nutrients to calories.
We provide "day neutral varieties" that produce fruit from spring to fall to increase your harvesting period. The cost of purchasing strawberries at the grocery store (especially organic varieties) has steadily climbed to its current position, making strawberries a luxury. Furthermore, most store bought strawberries have traveled from Florida, California, or Mexico. Over the course of a few days, strawberries lose much of their flavor. There is nothing like having a constant supply of this explosive fresh fruit. |
