I won't go on so long this time, but I just had to update and say that I think the asparagus we planted from seeds last year is coming back! The little sprouts are so tiny that we were actually out there inspecting them with a magnifying glass yesterday morning and still aren't quite sure, but it really might be. I was thinking I would have to roast some ducks, too, because they got some of the big fat sprouts off the special asparagus roots that I ordered and planted, but as of today all three of those root crowns have big, fat shoots on them again or still. And we also have radishes and spinach coming up.

Hooray! Perhaps cages are in order...for plants or for ducks. Love you.
BEAUTIFUL picture! And, so glad the asparagus is coming back! Doesn't it take about three years to really produce? (I heard that on a farm tour one time, I think!)Cages for the asparagus are a splendid idea! I'll bet Will could build you something. Love y'all!
We have so many fences and cages in our yard that you can't even walk! It's still not enough.
where is that ?
that's a beautiful place
