Ouch!

Asparagus does develop crown and root rot if too wet. It really prefers light, well drained soil.

Problem now is that after 2 weeks, it may be rooting and sprouting some already. Digging it up now might do more damage than good.

If soil is sandy and wet spell doesn’t last too long, it could be OK though...

Hope that is the case for you.

General David Petraeus: we have two weeks to save Pakistan from Taliban

General David Petraeus, the commander of US Central Command, has reportedly told American officials that the next two weeks are critical to determining whether the Pakistani government will survive.

Gen Petraeus reportedly said that “we’ve heard it all before” from the Pakistanis and he is looking to see concrete action by the government to destroy the Taliban in the next two weeks before determining the next course of action for the US.

“The Pakistanis have run out of excuses” and are “finally getting serious” about combating the threat from Taliban and al-Qaeda extremists operating out of north-west Pakistan, the general added.

He made these assessments in talks with US congressmen and members of the Senate, according to the Fox News channel.
