California-grown asparagus will be available for consumers for several more weeks. Growers say they will be harvesting at least until mid-June. The weather will determine how long the season lasts and if the plants can survive the heat.
Switzerland is the biggest importer of California asparagus. This year California shippers were concerned about the active volcano in Iceland causing flight delays, but so far deliveries have been on schedule.
