Yesterday while mowing.... I noticed the first of our asparagus was up! And as a bonus, a stalk appeared in one of our front garden beds as well!
I'll include them with my experimental dinner tonight.

Well worth the effort Bob. Our bed is 6 years old and produces enough for our cul-de-sac. I make asparagus pesto out of it too.
@bigpawbullets yeah she has the room to do it
Didn't know they could spread. I have one bed of this plant. Unfortunately, so far none has shown it's head.

Posted by FrostyJimBerries do very well in Alaska... I'm growing strawberries, honeyberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and black currants ...oh and rhubarb too - it goes well with berries in a pie, jam, or cobler!

Posted by FrostyJim...why didn't I think of that?
Posted by FernappleIts the time for one of my favourite flowers, Primula florindae, the giant cowslip to flower. The cinnamon scent fills the garden on warm days.
Posted by FrostyJimIt's almost salad season. It is amazing how fast my salad greens grow in just 3 weeks since setting out my seedlings in our long Alaska summer days...

Posted by FernappleNature is the best gardener still. All nature asks is a little space, that's all. Maybe no more than a slightly leaky fall pipe, and a bit of neglected wall, and you have a perfect tiny garden.
Posted by JolantaNematodes are helpful too.
