One of the best things about growing your own is that you can grow edibles that are not only perfectly fresh and with known provenance, but that you can also choose to grow crops that are really hard to get hold of fresh or difficult to get hold of at all.Two of the crops we are growing this year fall into those categories, banana shallots grown from our own seed and asparagus. We have well over 400 banana shallot plantlets to go out, the first batch of 120 are in the ground and as the asparagus is now in its second year we can crop it very lightly. It tastes fabulous, trust me.
Kazzi has already had a panful of asparagus fried in butter with prawns and mopped up with hunks of home made bread.
