I like to plant Marigolds in and around my garden veggies. Especially like the yellow ones. Really perks up the colors and helps discourage some of the critters that like tomatoes.

This is year 3 with the asparagus. I just finished cutting off the dead stuff above ground, cultivated around it, and side dressed with fertilizer. Anything else I need to do to get a bumper crop?

Year three is supposed to be THE YEAR with asparagus. I got enough for several meals last year, but it would be good if I could do better this year.

I gave up on tomatoes because of the deer, and the marigolds I planted did nothing to discourage them.
