Few crops reward patience like asparagus, which feeds a family for twenty years from one bed. Fred Hexamer's manual covers it whole: the history, the soil, the planting, and the culture of asparagus for home table and market alike. A thorough, practical grower's guide. Start the bed now and eat from it for decades.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
