LOL It is going to be interesting to see what happens in our garden this year with us being so late and the weather being so wet. Benita- That is SO cool. Now I want to try that out when we get some sheep. Ron- I've thought about trying that plastic trick out. I wonder how well it works....

It's hard work breaking new ground by hand! I felt the exact same way about asparagus this year... the first time I had ever seen it up close too. You might have the only decent photo on the entire Internet. :) One option for the grass might be solarizing? Just lay some clear plastic over it and let the sun cook it. I've read about that, but never done it. Ron You guys are doing great. It’s hard work breaking new ground by hand!

Wait until it gets a little bigger (right before the seeds turn red) and whack off one, chop it up into smallish bits, simmer it for an hour, add some (but not too much) tin and some wool and you should get chartruese on wool. Seriously lime-aid green. It's cool and one plant is plenty. You are going to eat so well this winter. If I come begging in me rags and me wee bowl, will ye feed me? Yep! That’s asparagus.

I'm late on some things too, for my part of the country so you're not alone in that. You're not alone in grass taking over, either! It's a constant headache. I love the choices you made, more adventuresome than mind. It will be fun to see how they turn out and what you think of them. Your garden is coming along really great!
