Isn’t that particular corruption of asparagus delightful?

What’s that white shoot? A spear I guess.

This afternoon I put in 25 asparagus plants, and I found they take a lot of room in the garden. I split them into two beds, and I’m interested to see which bed produces better. These are one-year-old crowns, so harvest time will be three springs out.

But then! All the sparrow grass I can eat!
