Asparagus is harvested in the winter!
- maxerickson 10y agoIn Michigan it emerges in May or so, which is the middle of spring.
- majewsky 10y agoIn Germany, asparagus season is just over, lasting from April to June. Interestingly, asparagus is one of the few vegetables which Germans fully accept as being available only seasonally. And conversely, they go totally crazy during asparagus season for no apparent reason. About the only other seasonal vegetable is kale, which Northern Germans will once a year cook to death and serve with disgustingly fat sausages whose name derives from an old word for "penis". You can't make this up. :)
- kuschku 10y agoThere’s some more things Germans accept as seasonal: Plums, Strawberries and non-frozen raspberries. Especially strawberries – during early summer, on every street corner there’s someone selling strawberries from a small camping trailer painted red with green roof.
