Asparagus

Asparagus in Farmstead World — crop in the game, and what it is on a real farm.

Asparagus is a perennial whose young shoots, or spears, are cut in spring from a bed that lasts for many years.

The bed is planted once and cut for decades, so a grower spends a year or more of care before the first harvest.
