Garden asparagus anyone?

Came home from seeding to a midnight snack of the first garden asparagus! Wow delicious!

Anyone else have an asparagus patch?

Yes have a patch. Nothing even close to the surface though yet. Can’t wait.

Yes! Our garden patch was just starting to peek out of the ground yesterday. Should be some eating in a couple days!
Are those fried in butter? That's my preferred method.

Just checked. Yesterday it was 2inch tall, this morning 5inch.

Yes is it ever amazing how fast it grows

The asparagus patch keeps giving year after year we are so lucky

I love mine fried in butter too but it was late last night. Dropped a few sprigs in a bowl, covered it with a plate. Microwave for 60 seconds. Slab of butter dash of salt and better than any restaurant I’ve been to 👍

My asparagus patches are so old, the ferna are taller than I am. Old variety. M They have so much cover from the stalks and greenery over the winter, they won’t be poking up for a few more weeks. And then they are prolific. Cream of asparagus soup. Yum. Egg Benedict. Yum. The really small stalks, chopped and raw in green salads are yummy. And the best is plain, fresh and just cooked and butter, and served. I’ll freeze a dozen or so pakabges. Life is good. 🙂 Pars.

The neighbour grows and markets asparagus and we are good customers.

A favorite dish that the cook makes here is a salad - for wont of a proper name - of lightly cooked asparagus mixed with diced strawberries topped with a special sauce she makes and a heavy sprinkle of poppy seeds blended in.

Mmmm, to die for. New crop coming next week. Berries, not for a while yet.

What fertilizer goes on asparagus? My patch is not producing like it used to.
