Man imagine bending up and down for hours doing this! My back would be killing me 10 minutes in! Big respect for these folks😩
.
I’d take a lil kid off road car and drive around to pick it up
@@yeehaw1718 and get shot by the farmer for ruining his field or irrigation lines lol. ❤😘
Just bend your knees and you be fine
@@ghepharched1193 I can't... My knees would give out. I work at a berry farm in the summer... I tried picking lol. I work cash now... I can stay upright there 😂😂😂
My patch is over 7 years old. I harvest enough every day to feed my family asparagus every night during the season.
How many do you have planted to make a good harvest daily?
what type of soil does it need ,
can you point out any references on how to grow it .
will it survive in a hot climate say 55C or 122 F ?
i live in iraq and am thinking of planting some asparagus i tried it fresh in italy and really loved it but i could never find it here .
@@intellectracoon I am not sure on such extreme high temperatures, you could give it try. It grows in my area but our weather is never the hot. Good luck
@@mtadams2009 thanks a lot for your help. do you have a good reference site to do it ?
Hey Mike, would you go get two handfuls of asparagi. Went down to the "patch" that never needed watering, fertilizing, or any attention at all.Just regular soil (no sand), and you have enough for your pals in the neighborhood! Butter (olive oil), garlic, S&P! Pardon my drooling! Peace
Now I understand why it’s expensive 😅
Maria A. right lol!
That's what I thought 😆
Only in america lol
@@nicojaewpunk
In Iran it's cheaper than Grass
Its wild vegetable and Grow in Everywhere
@@viveliran7509 I bet a high percentage of the population doesn't eat it either. That's why it's so cheap..
Damn extremely glad I watched this because I would’ve bought an asparagus plant and eaten the fruit and die lmao
lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Old Boy Scout saying "If it's red you'll be dead" - don't eat red berries (holly, asparagus, nightshade, etc.)
@@us89na there's a saying for bears, black fight back; brown lay down; white say goodnight ;_;
I will never forget as a kid. My dad pulling over at an asparagus farm, and we walked out into the field, to snap off some fresh asparagus to eat. This farmer is right. There is nothing quite like it. 95 percent of people probably have really never tried fresh asparagus.
You’re right.
Without cooking it?
Even when it is fully grown the leafs are really good tasting too
@@13_faces fresh picked is delicious and does not need to be cooked.
To me it's got a nutty flavor, been avoiding most greens all my life!
"what if we eat those grass?"
"Great idea!"
*Global Phenomenon*
I think it might have gone like most vegetable they probably saw animals eating it and was like I want to eat it
G
The real phenomenon is the discovery of tea, it was discovered because some fckin leaves blown into a boiling water and an emperor decide to drink the water 🤯
The real phenomenon is Eggs and Cow milk.
I grew asparagus from the same patch (clump of roots) for over 40 years.
Clump is called crowns.
joe LeGrand thank you . In fifty years we just planted these mass of roots and watched them grow giving delicious spears. You are correct, they do look like crowns.
Wow, I have a new appreciation for asparagus farmers! I love asparagus but never realized all the work that went into them!
Bless all the hardworking farm workers. They really are super heros. Hopefully they are well taken care of at this particular site. Great video!
Well said, and I agree -- they are amazing. I'm in awe of all the farm workers I've ever met.
don't worry they will all be deported by the time trump is done with these immigrants
No more veggies for America. Everything will rot in all the farms since no other “Animals” will do it for us. 😱😱
hey coconut head really.. is that so.... reminds me of what your whole family said once you popped out.
hey cyka- do your homework. trump is not going to deport any farmworkers. they are here legally. your love for donald duck should not keep you from informing yourself
I love how she evens go in the field to pick out the crop. I love your dedication!
Thank you! It's important to me to show how difficult this work is. The people who harvest make it look so easy because they're so skilled!
Never Knew! - 67 years old, and first time seeing how Asparagus is grown. Mahalo! --- M.S.A.
My family an I have found asparagus in the mountain's, it was a very old property. The very last peice of the old home that was still standing, was the chimney an a large lush green field with trickling little streams an it was flooded with tons of asparagus! The bottoms were about a nickel around. They were so tender and sweet! It was so cool to learn all about them and how they can grow for such a long time! Thank you for sharing this video!
I cut asparagus for 8 seasons. Hard labor but good experience
Wow! Thank you for your work!
TRUE FOOD TV we cut it for 4 months out of the year
She is pretty.
Thank you for all that you do!
Hector Espinosa Orale compadre, gracias.
Thank you to all the hard working Latinos working on the fields......
Jane Book I'm sorry that you think that way....
😂 responses like Janes make me laugh. Americans don’t want to do this job.
And in the factory too.
Melissa Menchaca nobody does. but someone has to.
A Ro tried to hire some migrant workers twice, both times the lazy bastards failed to show, said it was "too hot to work". Screw them.
Very interesting. I never thought or knew that asparagus took 5 years to grow.
It dose not take 5 years, I harvest my 2nd year, believe nothing, google everything!
@@joelegrand5903 she said in the video it's healthier for the asparagus plants to harvest them in their fifth year.
Second year is fine, this give years is bullshit
@@adamfoster6278 True, I also attack them second year.
Asparagus grew wild on our farm in the fence rows. In the fall the plant looks like a bright purple/red bush that's easy to spot. My parents would mark the fence row and in the spring we would start picking it. We also ate dandelion, and another plant that I'm not sure what the real name is but they called it billia. I've never been able to find it again.
I have much more respect for asparagus now.
Music to my ears!
me Too. I always complained about how expensive it is. but now. I feel like it should cost more lol
Now i feel bad for all the asparagus gone to waste lol
@@wildog47 woh woh woh lets not get carried away here lol
I have ONE plant. 10 years old. At its end sadly. I do enjoy my 2-3 spears a year, tho by the time I spot them they are a meter tall lol! They are definitely a handful to plant and maintain, but ohhhh so worth it. They never get cooked at my place! They don't make it back to the kitchen 😘
Very proud of those workers harvesting the Asparagus under the burning sun. Bless them and hey, Asparagus isn't half bad actually. Good stuff!
Eddy bro in india farmer work in sun average 8 hours per day
In the video they are all wearing jackets. Asparagus is picked only in the springtime.
So WOKE! 🤦🏻♂️
@@gimpygardner3377 Windbreakers? Early spring still being chilly?
I'm proud of anyone who does work like this. You guys do vital work. Thanks for helping the rest of us move along. 😌🌎✨
This video is surprisingly really nice to watch. The information, the editing, the presenting, everything is wonderful.
Have lived in an area of the Midwest where every spring for 2 weeks every day, went out with my folks and got asparagus. Still go to this day, and freeze it. There is so much wild asparagus around and very few people realize it. As of this writing, I have well over 200 spots marked on my map for it.
She is so likable. I love how nice and friendly she is to everyone :)
Thank you so much! That means a lot.
She's really good and has really good rapport with everyone. She seems real.
AlwaysLoveOthers Yep
I got the same vibe. Nice video. She must be well travelled to have such a charisma. I think😊
It's the first thing to come up in our garden every spring - Love it!
Lucky!!
If you think this is tough, try catching wild plants at the right time.
⁰
@@sog4646 Lambs quarter are wild plants that grow like weeds but taste better than spinach so easy to catch them during the summer months and they go good with green chile and corn.
In Belgium we harvest and eat white asparagus. It's even more challenging as the entire aspergus has to be cut below the surface. It also grows on raised rows.
My respects to the hard workers in the fields.. getting paid very little and the usa does not appreciate them...
The USA doesn’t appreciate illegals on welfare
@@CP-os1pc If you knew much about the "welfare" system they don't approve or allow anyone with illegal status to receive welfare. I've never seen one Hispanic begging on the side of the road. Although they may sit outside Home Depot and ask if they can help you with a job you're doing.
Farmers like in Washington state pay $14-16/hr during harvest season, most of the ppl get $1500-3000/ every 2 weeks
In a few years machines will do it, they're not needed
There more interested in killing thereselves with burgers sadly
Nicole, please do a video on how bananas grow!!! I work at a hotel and there is a banana tree (is it really a tree?) in our gardens, and it is flowering right now. It is one of the strangest, most beautiful things I've seen on a plant. I'd love to know more about the flower, and the life cycle of the plant, and the cultivation of bananas, and I'd love to learn it through one of you amazing videos!
I've been a huge fan of this channel from the start. Nicole & Mark are a great team and keep producing quality content - which has become a rarity in today's RUclips space..... It's a huge bonus they read & respond to comments. Please share some behind the scenes :)
Geoff, thank you SO much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. It's really motivating to both of! We've been taking behind-the-scenes stuff for about a year now with a mind to make a BTS video. We'll try to prioritize it! All the best to you.
Thanks Geoff! We pour our blood, sweat and tears into making these videos - the pre-production (research and scripting) and post-production (edits, color, sound mix) take a long time. But we've got some more episodes lined up for the summer!
I’m a farmer and this amazed me…had no idea so much was involved in growing asparagus!!
watching this at 3 in the morning and want nothing more then a bundle of asparagus and some fresh garlic to mince up and fry on the pan uhhg!!! thank you to all the hard working farmers who harvest this absolutely delicious vegetable!!
She's really cheerful. I like her.
Thank you!
and quite pretty too.
I like her videos there very professional I dont see why she dosent have a bigger platform
agree, it feels like i'm watching a tv program
Thank you both for these lovely comments! It's motivating.
Really amazing. So this is how it's grown. I have seen this in my cousin's garden many years ago and didn't what it was. Got to pay her a visit some day just to check out if they're still there in her garden. Very informative and you presented it very good. I give you an A++ for that 😃
How I remember picking asparagus when I was little! We used to get out of school to go and pick..that was fun! I did Not like eating it then..I sure do now! Missing my Michigan days!
As a child growing up in Michigan, we picked asparagus in the ditches down the street from my childhood home. Over sixty years later that same patch is still producing. Yum!.
This is really awesome! The quality of the content of this video is incomparable. Makes me wanna look for your take on how green teas are farmed. Thank you Nicole! Thank you True Food! Love from the Philippines. 😎
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you're enjoying our videos. I am dying to do tea! One day soon, I hope. Sending love back to you!
TRUE FOOD TV Hi I love your videos. You must come to India for a video on tea. Especially the Darjeeling ones☺
I like the way you laugh, the way you interact with people. There's so much energy in it. I wish I could be just a little little part like you! Keep up the good work! Your videos are so inspiring!
Asparagus is my favorite vegetable :) I was recently so surprised to learn that the big bushy plant with red berries in my parents garden is asparagus :D As a kid I spent a lot of time in the garden and I knew all of the plants that were growing there. So when I started eating asparagus as an adult I was very surprised to find out that it was growing in my parents garden all this time and no one had ever tried to collect its shoots and eat them.
When I was a child, in the early 60's we used to go with my whole family, very early in the morning, to cut asparagus on a nearby farm, to make ends meet. These asparagus were sent to Paris fresh cut, and they were available on the Paris markets on the same day (250 kms).
I have a friend who has a huge organic allotment and one year he invited me over for some asparagus he was growing. I don't remember how we cooked it but we each had a heaping plate of fresh asparagus with some butter and it was heavenly! I ate so much I was stuffed and what a treat it was, maybe I'll get to do that again some day.
Oh, that sounds like a dream dinner! Very jealous!
Well I just found the most interesting youtube channel ever.
Awesome. 😁
Such respect for the men and women who do this work. How many people do you know who would do this work instead of taking a free handout?
WOW !! Es bueno tu vídeo, sobre todo ver a mis paisanos mexicanos trabajando duro en los campos, un cordial saludo y felicidades !!
I honestly love your videos so much! They’re super interesting and I love to learn where my food comes from. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!
Thank YOU!
Yay....finally another video....I love your "How does it grow?* series😍😍😍
Thank you so much!
Very wonderful and informative video! This is 2nd video I just found of yours. Such great commentary Nicole, and I’m so glad I now know these things I knew nothing about before. This is exactly the kind of things they SHOULD TEACH children. I’m no where near California, over in Michigan so I knew nothing about this subject. Trying to start gardening for the first time, I am now looking these things up.
I used this video to teach and learn with the English learning students. We all loved it! Thanks!
Wow! I appreciate asparagus even more now! I love your personality! I subscribed! :)
I really like the fact you actually tried harvesting the asparagus! A simple video and smooth. Maybe next time you can include some aspects on the fertilisers, herbicides or insecticides used in asparagus farming. May God bless you 😊 loves from borneo
I always like to harvest in the videos -- the real workers make it look so easy. My struggles hopefully demonstrate how skilled they are!
I love asparagus. So thanks to all involved for your hard work in getting it to market.
I started with "How does it grow - Cranberries" episode... and God! This channel has been one of the best ones here on RUclips. Loved it. 💞
Thank you so much! Glad to have you watching.
I love asparagus! Nice to know how it’s grown, I appreciate it even more now.
I find this absolutely fascinating I have asparagus in my backyard I’ve been growing for many many years And I have a really horrible soil that’s a lot of clay but I have found that once they are in and settled they will actually produce after about two years and I mean a good inch and a half in diameter
It takes about a week or two to grow back after you pick it. It grows fast. My grandfather planted ours 30-40yrs ago. It grows fast after planting.
Asparagus is a very nutritious vegetable. I really appropriate these farmers and the people who harvest them.
YES, finally a new episode. Thank you so much. Please don't be so long until the next episode.
The next one will be coming out you before you know it! I PROMISE you that!
This is my first episode of this show, and I very much like her. She gets down and does some work to add on to what workers go through. It was very fun just watching that part. --Subscribed--
That was very informative!! Thanks.. I agree with another comment, it makes sense why it's expensive. Your video also shows the importance of farm labor, no matter who's doing it.
Thank you so much for all you do. Your video always brighten my day!
This channel deserves million subscribers.
Sounds good to me!! ;) Please help us spread the word!
I had no idea i needed to see this! Loved the video!
Asparagus grows wild where I live, it’s always fun to go on a walk and stumble upon some!
So excited for this season! I wonder that other goodies you have been planning! Can't wait to watch it all unfold! These videos make me happy :)
Thanks Sheldon! Making these films, and knowing people find value in them, gives us enormous pleasure, too!
You're killing me gurl, I've been dying for more!
More coming SOON!
We ALL cannot wait!!!!
Great stuff!! God bless the good folks that work so hard to bring us this outstanding food.
hi, i i´m from portugal from the region of alentejo,where wild asparagus grow plentifull,we love them,and its a hobby for a lot of people to go on picking trips.
Wow, amazing thank u for sharing this video 😱💝👍👍 i luv asparagus 💖
Your channel is so awesome!! Completely educational fun informative interesting and well filmed!! Look forward to more videos. From New Zealand ☺️
Thank you so much, Etta! Delighted to have you watching.
Thanks! I’m growing some from seed and I can see their little heads popping up through the soil! Yeah!!
Thank you for picking the food we love. You guys are so awesome. God Bless 🙏.
For me, the interesting part is that here in Germany white asparagus is preferred. Also, the fields look different as an earth mound is set up to cover the upshooting plants and prevent them from "greening".
Petra Meyer so cool!!!!! 😀
Petra Meyer ich war so schockiert als sie meinte das weißer Spargel einfach nur im dunklen wächst und deswegen nicht grün Wird 😂 ich wusste das echt nixht
Germans prefer white asparagus? I am not surprised. Aryans.
John TongueCruz do better.
I wonder if there is any taste difference?
amazing program! Thank you. I am so glad I found you. I hope to see more. Interested about how hazelnuts and walnuts grow for example. Is it limited to vegetables? What about flowers, shellfish, meet and poultry (of course not the mega-farming, but the way it is done traditionally)
I've said this many times God bless farmers because i honestly had no idea how asparagus grows and it's my favorite vegetable i eat it all the time.
Soooo, I'm happy this showed up in my suggestions. I have been curious what asparagus looks like when allowed to grow out. Now I know. Love it in my morning scrambles and afternoon salads
As always great episode...I love the content you've given us over the seasons...keep up the great work...best wishes
Thank you so much!!
Finallly new eps!
Tx for letting us know about this special plant...
You’re giggle and participating in the harvest won this subscriber over. Enjoying what you’re doing is the secret to a happy life.
She is so full of life 😅 i can watch these all day long ❤️
Thank you, guys!! xoxo
love ur videos as always 😍
thank you for all the Informations in a video that u always put, u always describe fully that we are learning from it all the time. ❤
I'm so glad you liked it!
And here I am at 1 am eating this and enjoying every little bit of this that took years to get here...
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful
I have said this a million times, but I just absolutely love this channel!
You can say it as many times as you like! Thank you!! :))
i love you "True Food TV"
I planted 20 root crowns for a friend years ago but never back to see.........interesting video. Great to see the host learn, pick, chop off and show utmost respect to all those hard workers, They really liked her and so made for great video.
Oh how I love your videos! Thank you so much!
Another informative and fun video! Well done!
Thank you very much, Dawn!
Great episode!!! Im preparing a place for next spring to plant around 100 ft of asparagus at the farm. I’ll let you know how they taste in 4 years 😂😂😂
Hahaha! I hear you! Scott (the seed breeder in the video) gave me some crowns to plant at home -- how lucky am I? -- and I've got some asparagus popping up this spring. But it's such a tease... four more years....
TRUE FOOD TV I didn’t know that about the purple asparagus being sweeter though! I’m going to try to plant some of those now too! I’m assuming they turn green as the grow into the ferns?
I've got it growing in my backyard garden spot, I think maybe more people grow it than the farmer thinks.
Heres hoping yours grows well.
Plant 2 year crowns, harvest next year Got 100 foot growing. Never like it till I tasted it fresh from the garden
😂🤣
Enjoyed watching, very entertaining, thanks for sharing❤️
I learned alot . thank you so much
Watching this channel makes me want to become a botanist lol. So interesting.
I know what you mean! I feel the same way when I'm researching these videos.
3:26 nice shot
I enjoy your videos so much! Big thank you to U and your team! 😘
So happy RUclips routed me here. Thanks for a very informative and sensible video. Keep. It up plss. 💕
This presenter has a very impressive personality that’s y I subscribed ur channel.
Thank you so much!
raj rai perv
Who are you lying to lmao . You just subscribed cuz she's cute
Im glad this was in my recommendation
I plant purple asparagus after I watched this video almost a year ago. Surprisingly I got my first purple one already. I'm watching this again to see what i've missed out. Thx for sharing this video again
I never knew this to all the hard working people to make this come to our tables thank you love you 😄👍❤️
I’ve never seen that much vacant ground around asparagus! We always had an asparagus bed, where plants were much closer. I’d plant double rows with a gap. I recognize that they’re the experts, but they are raising a LOT of barren ground there.
Asparagus is a nutritious veggie with a distinctive flavor.

Love this channel! Could you please do a video on how one of the following grow; Mangoes, Lychee or pineapple?
Yes!! I am trying really hard to do mango this season. Stay tuned!
yeyyy....
TRUE FOOD TV can't wait! 😊
I love asparagus and as a kid I carried a belt knife to harvest it along the drainage ditches in our neighborhood. That was fun and great eating during the summer months.
Good info I love gardening keep it up
NICE! I didn't know asparagus had such long maturation period. Also the fronds of a fully grown asparagus plant looks AMAZING :O are those edible per chance?
Emaline L. Those are edible ofc.
Anything is edible, but not all is expedient to eat.
