Celebrate the asparagus as asparagus season and as the spring and summer Asparagus festivals begin in earnest. Low in calories, low in sodium with zero fat and cholesterol make the asparagus a desirable treat.

Growing conditions for asparagus make the states of Michigan, Massachusetts, California and Washington conducive to growing asparagus. These states have embraced the asparagus with festivals to celebrate the crop, present new recipes, relay new cooking tips and the various ways to prepare asparagus.

If you are a fan of asparagus, enjoy the post on asparagus nutrition and celebrate the Benefits of Asparagus.

Spear it! Enjoy Asparagus Festivals across the United States.Benefits of Gardening With Asparagus

Gardeners should also take note that asparagus is a great growing companion for tomatoes. The unwanted asparagus beetle can be a pest for home gardeners and tomato plants naturally repel the beetles.
