Jersey Knight Asparagus has predominantly male plants that produce little to no seed, which ensures 2 or 3 times the average yield of Jersey asparagus. The premium-quality spears grow up to 7 to 9 inches long and up to 3/4 inch thick. While they're ready to harvest early in the season, the spear tips will stay tight for weeks to come. Whether steamed, sauteed or chopped up in bright green spring salads, asparagus is one of the most antioxidant-rich veggies in your garden.
