Purple Passion produces smaller crops than green varieties, but the spears are sweeter and more tender. For best flavor and texture, harvest shoots in early spring while very young, about 5 to 7 inches long. Asparagus spears can be boiled, braised, roasted, steamed, stir fried, or grilled. Asparagus is considered a superfood for its nutrient rich content, having a high (top 20) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density.

Asparagus is considered a superfood for its nutrient rich content, having a high (top 20) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density. It is a good source of vitamins B6, C, and K, fiber, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin. It also contains a range of phytonutrients. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePurple Passion, a long-lived, herbaceous perennial, is a member of the asparagus family (Asparagaceae). The plant self-propagates by rhizomatous roots. Dioecious, asparagus requires cross-pollination of 2 separate plants, a male and female, for fruit production. Once established, the plant can produce for decades with proper care, but it should not be harvested until the second year. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIf asparagus is not harvested, the plant produces a towering fern of attractive feathery foliage of very branched tiny, linear leaves that turn yellow in fall and eventually die back naturally. Purple Passion is a female selection and may also produce ornamental red berries. The berries are toxic and should not be eaten. The plants have ornamental value and are suitable for edible landscapes. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePurple Passion is easy to grow. It prefers full sun and loose, organically rich, evenly moist, sandy, well-drained soil with a neutral pH of 6.0 to 7.0 and that is free of weeds. Plant 6 to 8 inches apart in the row instead of the usual 12-inch spacing. Top dress with compost and apply nitrogen yearly, in early spring. It grows best in cooler locales with long winters. Purple Passion is asparagus rust, fusarium, crown rot and rabbit resistant. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA cool-season vegetable, one of the first to be planted in the garden, asparagus seed can be direct sown into the garden in early spring 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost date. It can also be started indoors 8 to 10 weeks before transplanting in the garden when the soil reaches a temperature of 60° to 65°F.

An early, high-yielding cultivar, the plant produces long, straight, dark green shoots with tight tips and a delicate, fresh flavor. For best flavor and texture, harvest shoots in early spring while very young, about 5 to 7 inches long. Asparagus spears can be boiled, braised, roasted, steamed, stir fried, or grilled. Asparagus is considered a superfood for its nutrient rich content, having a high (top 20) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density.

The cloves vary in color from striking pink to solid pink-brown and have a milder flavor than other Silverskins. Garlic Mild French grows well in all Zones and is well-adapted to hot, dry climates but has been grown successfully along the wet gulf coast. Softneck garlic contains more cloves in each bulb than hardneck garlic, and their papery skins are wrapped tighter, keeping them fresher and giving them a longer shelf life. Softnecks mature later and store longer than hardneck types, and the bulbs become spicier the longer they're stored. Garlic is a good source of allicin, a compound that gives garlic its distinctive smell and taste and appears to have many health benefits. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGarlic Mild French is an \u003ci\u003eAllium sativum\u003c\/i\u003e variety in the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae). Typically grown as an annual, garlic is an herbaceous bulbous perennial with flattened, linear, grass-like, medium green leaves. Softnecks do not flower or develop a scape, so the stems remain flexible, which makes them good for braiding. However, Silverskins will revert to wild garlic and send up a flower stalk if they are stressed by excessive cold or heat, by conditions that are too wet or dry, or by over or under fertilization. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSilverskins are the last of all the groups to harvest.

Scattering them around the vegetable garden helps to produce healthier harvests. \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThink of onions as a leaf crop, not a root crop. They prefer full sun and loose, fertile, moist, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.2 to 6.5.

Onions have shallow root systems and need consistent moisture. Onions are heavy feeders. Adding manure or compost to the soil several weeks before planting (or the winter before) and applying fertilizer when planting and again every two weeks increases plant size and make onions sweeter. And since each leaf represents one ring of the onion bulb, more leaves equal more rings, resulting in bigger bulbs. Keep beds free of weeds, which will compete with the onions for water and nutrients.

Onions can also improve the flavor of some of their companions, while some companions, like chamomile and summer savory, can improve the onion's flavor. Scattering them around the vegetable garden helps to produce healthier harvests. \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThink of onions as a leaf crop, not a root crop. They prefer full sun and loose, fertile, moist, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.2 to 6.5. A lower or higher pH may result in poor bulb quality or small yields. \u003cb\u003eShort-day type onion varieties are adaptable to southern regions with 10 to 12 hours of day length in the summer.\u003c\/b\u003e The more sun and space between plants, the bigger the bulb. Onions have shallow root systems and need consistent moisture. Onions are heavy feeders. Adding manure or compost to the soil several weeks before planting (or the winter before) and applying fertilizer when planting and again when plants have 5 to 6 leaves increases plant size. And since each leaf represents one ring of the onion bulb, more leaves equal more rings, resulting in bigger bulbs. Keep beds free of weeds, which will compete with the onions for water and nutrients. To avoid disease, practice crop rotation, planting onions in a different location every year. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA cool-season vegetable, \u003cb\u003eshort-day onion sets can be direct sown into the garden in fall for a late spring harvest.
