According to Melbourne greengrocer John Biviano, the best thing about spring is asparagus, with the local Victorian season in Australia’s largest asparagus-growing district, Koo Wee Rup, off to a good start.
He says growers have already offered him green and white asparagus. “It’s a sign of how good this season is going to be,” says Biviano, who owns Biviano & Sons in Melbourne’s Fairfield.
