I just came up from the greenhouse where I found that the asparagus I planted in the autumn of 2010 has finally sprouted edible stalks.
Mmmm - mmmm! Fresh tender 'spargus :)

My tobasco and jalapeno "trees" in the greenhouse are already sprouting fresh growth. I trim them back after the first freeze and let them re-grow. The tobasco is about 6ft tall and 5 years old and still producing.
The papaya was nipped during the last freeze, but not as bad as last year. I only had to trim it back halfway instead of chopping it to the ground,

Oh yeah - I was googling "concrete block raised gardens" and came up with a ton of good ideas. Here's the link:

Just go to the images tab.

Thanks Sarajevo, we can work some of those ideas into our community garden. Some of those ideas, I’ll put in our yard too. Thanks.
