Finally! I have asparagus! The bed is now three years old and we'll be able to cut some asparagus to eat. I also added 24 more asparagus crowns to the bed. Next year will be a bumper year for wonderful, tasty asparagus.
I also have three kinds of lettuce, spinach, and several herbs that I can harvest now. The shade of weed block I put over the lettuce, spinach, cabbage, peas, and broccoli is doing it's job. They get rain water, but not the direct sunlight that they do not need. I was able to barter a big bag of lettuces, some green onions, rosemary, thyme (2 kinds) and oregano for 18 fresh eggs this week.
Monday, the Hutterite Soup Beans went in the ground along with the pea/bean booster that contains nitrogen fixing bacteria. I wanted to plant green beans too, but how in the world did I not purchase those??? I bought some last night and they will be planted sometime Monday since we are getting lots of rain. The soil will be too wet to plant.
