Asparagus stalks reach for the sky, like fingers stretching out to grasp the sun’s warmth. Their slender bodies sway in the wind, heads tipped back in a show of appreciation for the life-giving light that brings them to fruition. The vibrant green spears are lined with purple hues and topped with tight, pointed tips that offer a crunchy bite when cooked. It’s as if the asparagus is on a journey, reaching out with determination to reach its full potential.
