The daytime temperatures here have been warming up, and we’ve been eagerly anticipating this:
The first shoot of asparagus!
We put in a lot more plants last fall, and so we’re hoping soon to have more asparagus that we know what to do with.
The lettuce and broccoli continue to thrive, and my conference table is full of tomato starts. This is a great time of year here.
Do I remember correctly that it takes 2 years to get to harvest asparagus once it is planted? You are very patient!
Yes, that’s right. We had a few plants that we’ve had for a couple years now, but also got some new root balls that were already in their second year.
We’ve had a few more shoots come up and are expecting an onslaught any time now. :)
