Pushing Up!
Bow to the mighty asparagus!
The first ones are now tentatively pushing their rosy tip up – just checking on the above ground weather. Is last year holds true (and so far, it does, as after a few days of warm weather, we are back to cool – including below 32F (0C) at night), then the asparagus will just wait for milder temperature before coming out in any numbers, and growing to edible size. They’ll turn green as the stalk grow, with just a hint of purple left on the scales.
Meanwhile… can the morels be far behind?
Hi! *Waving* 😛
Spring bounty is good.
Melissa, good to have you stop by. Thank you. Not totally bounty yet… but getting there.
Oooh, I can’t wait until asparagus starts showing up at the farmer’s market here in DC. I thought about growing some myself, but I don’t have enough space or permanence to start the three-year process. Thanks for posting the pic!
