Summer comes early…?
If this is a taste of what’s to come, I’m all for it.
Today was sensational. Sunny, warm, barely a breath of wind. And the vegetables are loving it.
This is the asparagus I planted in early April. The fronds are a bit feeble, but that’s to be expected in their first year. They’ll thicken up well next season.
Sadly, I can’t attack ‘em even then; you shouldn’t cut asparagus until its third year. Just as well I’ve got another established bed, which is still producing enough spears for dinner four times a week.
We’ll be SO sick of it by mid June.
