Aloha Asparagus Friday!
Asparagus, from the genus family
Asparagaceae, is made up of more than 200 species. The most common
and economically important is garden asparagus, which is
cultivated to be eaten. It is usually
green with a purple-tinged top, but white asparagus is another
common variety and is often grown in Europe. In particular, in
France's Argenteuil, asparagus is grown underground so that
chlorophyll does not develop. This white asparagus is thick, is
smoother than green types, and is known for its tenderness and
delicate flavor. There is also a purple variety of asparagus
called viola.

mountain goats struggle to survive
All of the surveyed mountain goat herds in Washington state are declining, with the exception of Mount St. Helens, which has grown, according to data provided by the state.
