If you plant it...

it will grow.

Last year we put in a small (a dozen plants) asparagus bed. It is a separate space, up near the greenhouse. We plant onions on one side of the bed, and put the asparagus on the other.

I haven't gotten a chance yet to weed or top-dress the spot, but the asparagus don't seem to mind. Last night we cut the first stalks.

I don't care for asparagus, but Hubby loves it. He steamed the first home-grown produce of the season and, with a huge, satisfied grin on his face, called them "the best asparagus ever." Hmm...makes me wonder if I shouldn't give this vegetable another try.

And look! The onions are beginning to grow, too!
