This bunch of asparagus may not seem very exciting to some of you, but I just picked it fresh out of our plot at the Sunshine Gardens. I'm excited that our plant, now in its fifth year, has finally begun to produce enough asparagus for an actual meal.
Did you know that asparagus never has to be planted again? Granted, one must be patient with it; it takes about a decade before it really gets going. After that, I've heard it is difficult to get rid of. But why would anyone want to do that? Just when the going gets good and one has a continuous supply of one of nature's most nutritious veggies?

We tried asperagus years ago. After a few years we got some pathetic little
spears. Next thing we knew, there was nothing. Congratulations on your success
