oh oh oh! i forgot an ort!

i forgot to mention that we have had some asparagus come up already! i am pretty sure we had a mix of one and two year crowns so we are getting some to eat and will let the others fern out again this year. 

anyway, we've been able to harvest a few spears to eat. 

oh. mah. word. 

i don't know if i will ever want to eat store bought again. there is a smoothness to the flavor of the home grown. the store bought has a sharpness to it that is hard to explain. i am so excited to be having home grown asparagus for the next 14 years...

Hi Shannon! I'm with ya!!! Nothing like fresh out of the garden asparagus... or anything else for that matter! (: Congrats on your lovely garden plot! We just got back from PDX (well, Newberg actually) and the birth of our little sweetie! And the weather cooperated too! (: xxxVicki
