Though we are still in the process of clearing the rest of the garden from weeds in order to plant, our asparagus patch has begun to yield! Asparagus may not be the preferred food to some tastebuds :-), but it is an enjoyed vegetable at our house!
We actually never had to plant the asparagus; it was a surprise blessing last year when we went out one day and discovered shoots of it popping out of the ground. Apparently it takes a few years from planting to produce, and so we had it the easy way - the previous owners did the planting and the waiting, and we just showed up and reaped the rewards!
And no, this is not a trick photo... it really is that big! I decided to measure it and it's a foot and a half long, and approximately one inch in diameter at the bottom! Now that's some asparagus!
