This includes asparagus, strawberries, potatoes, various vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, and carrots, as well as fruits like apples and pears.

She poked and prodded Until the ground loosened, And from the hole, you'd hardly believe it, Grew clay-covered water foam, And after the foam poured forth bright water, Yes, that—that was the Maiden's Spring! And our youth cried: Hurrah! Now we have our Maiden's Spring! [Source: Local plaque]
