Ass-per-gas anyone?

We spent family time planting asparagus this weekend. Don't tell my hubby, but it's nice to do family projects once a decade. Actually, this is the third family project in nine months, so bonding is more like bondage--just kidding.

By Sunday night, I could hardly move. Yep, over 40 yard of asparagus. Did you know it grows like grass? Just like a hydra, you cut off the head and stem and the plant grows another one. We won't have much of a crop this year, but next year we should be raking in the 'little green trees' as my niece used to say.

 

We ordered several dozen starter plants, which look like
