Asparagus is considered a long term crop that will thrive in your garden 15 years or more.

A serving of nutrient-rich asparagus (about 5 spears or 5.3 ounces) contains 25 calories, 3 grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein, no fat and is low in sodium. It also contains the following percentages of the USRDA for these vitamins and minerals:
8% Vitamin A
20% Vitamin C
10% Vitamin B6
2% Calcium
2% Iron
60% Folacin (Folic Acid)
15% Thiamin
6% Riboflavin
6% Niacin
4% Magnesium
4% Copper

Asparagus is a source of carotenoids.
Our bodies use some carotenoids to make vitamin A, while others are strong disease-fighting antioxidants.
Also contains fiber too.

It is not my favorite of the vegetables but I feel it is one of the best for you. I myself feel better when I eat Asparagus.

But the urine smell, I dont perticularly like. I dont know if it is the way I process it or the detox effect of it or what. Maybe it smells this way with everyone but then again I dont go around asking to smell peoples urine who eat Asparagus
