Asparagus time: the beginning and the end of the season in Germany

The end of the asparagus time in Germany is irrefutable. The beginning of the asparagus season on the other hand, not so easy to define.

• The asparagus, some of the requirements to the climatic conditions. For this reason, the weather in the spring is largely the beginning of the Asparagus season.
• The asparagus needs a soil temperature of at least 12 degrees. Earlier, the vegetables may not be harvested. In General, the Asparagus, therefore, begins in Germany in April.
• The asparagus farmers speed up the harvest, the beginning is often a little, by spreading large black foil over the asparagus fields. As a result, the soil warms up a little earlier.
• Another Trick to make the beginning of the asparagus season a little less dependent on the weather, are heated floors. This effort is of course very cost-intensive. For this reason, especially early asparagus from Germany is once again significantly more expensive than the later. You have a private garden, and shy away from the asparagus stinging not, it is worth the asparagus themselves to grow.
• The end of the asparagus time is not dependent on the weather yet it will be delayed with little Tricks out. In Germany, the asparagus season ends just in time on 24. June, because the asparagus needs a long rest period to recover.

The season is the same for both, but, nevertheless, there are interesting differences between the green and the white asparagus.
