Asparagus: when is it in season?

In Germany it is the middle of April asparagus time – This date may be postponed in case of bad weather. Asparagus harvesting traditionally ends on June 24.

In fact, local varieties of asparagus can often be bought as early as March. In order to withstand competition with imported goods, some farmers cover their asparagus fields with film and heat them.

This is why the carbon footprint of early asparagus is often even worse than that of imported asparagus.
