The asparagus is up...growing very well this year. Glad we planted Jersey Knight..It has survived being eaten down to the ground first by grass hoppers last year...army worms the year before and burnt up by drought. It looks like this year will be our first crop. Asparagus for three nights in a row for dinner...now that's what I am talk'in about!!
