Asparagus is a perennial vegetable, which grows many shoots each spring which are then harvested. Some of the shoots are left to grow to allow it to develop, so that it can be harvested every year. Spring is the main time for harvesting, but some can also be harvested in summer and autumn. At the end of autumn, the above-ground parts die and are all cut back.
The asparagus grown in our potager is the purple variety. The beautiful colour is lost when boiled.
アスパラガスは多年生の野菜で、毎年春になるとたくさんの新芽がのびて、それを収穫します。一部の新芽は株の生育のために残して成長させることで、毎年収穫できるようにします。春が収穫の中心ですが、夏や秋にも少し収穫できます。秋の終わりには地上部は枯れるので、すべて刈り取ります。
我が家のポタジェで育てているのは紫色の品種のアスパラガスです。茹でてしまうと美しい色は失われます。
