What can I do to get the stems thick like that? My second Asparagus patch died... but My first came up again this yr and I would like to help it along this spring and summer if possible.

For tonight's supper, fried asparagus in bacon oil with farm fresh poached eggs and fresh dandelion sauted with winter onions and garlic from garden. Healthy and good.

Major, not sure about that but I was amazed how good the dandelion greens were. Although the bacon grease and fresh garlic onions sure helped.

Worst part is picking the greens. Had to go into field where they hadn't been sprayed. I kill them in yard. And yes, will continue to.....

Don't forget to gather eggs and poach a couple to go with them.

Southern, how big is your asparagus patch, or maybe the question should be how many plants? That looks like a nice harvest!
