Woo Hoo! I'd be out there checking every day.

Rummor has it, that at an old abandoned farmhouse out behind our property, there was a HUGE bed of asparagus. The house has only been abandoned for 2 years. So guess who is going to be taking a walk at some point in time pretty soon?

Last year I was not checking regularly and just happened to walk by. I got them before they got too far along but it was closer than I want it to be. I do like fresh asparagus. This year I've been checking real regular and saw these yesterday.

That is what I'm waiting for!! Nothing says spring, like asparagus!

I think I should stop on the road and mark the locations of the wild asparagus around here with a can of spray paint or something! I can never see it until it is full grown.

The wild plants along the river that shoot up after the snow runoff used to get a lot of attention from me. At least, what was growing a stone's throw from the garden I had then. They were very late, of course. Then all the information on heavy metal contamination finally got thru to me. I don't think I need to harvest the spears out of an EPA superfund site! I just gotta locate what is already here and there on higher ground!

I'm glad you are getting something from the garden. Any chives? Egyptian onions? We had some nice fresh kale leaves a couple of days ago.
