I have asparagus up, (Zone 5) but it’s only a few inches tall. It should be tall enough to harvest in another few days. It looks nice and healthy, but my whole bed (8’x4’) needs a reset; I was a Bad Girl and didn’t keep up with the weeding.
I’m only one woman, LOL!
Rhubarb is looking SPECTACULAR; should be ready to harvest in a few more days, too. That early spring dump of composted ‘Ithaca Grow’ seems to be agreeing with her. ;)
I kept our asparagus bed really clean last year and it paid off. I had no grass only some shallow weeds to pick out. Hard part was I have to get on the ground and reach in and work my way around, I was pretty sore the next day but it will be worth it. Did it last week so nice and early. Struck out again the Bonnie truck did not come to our town at all this week and I called 5 places in Grand Rapids and they had not seen any either. Hoping for Monday now.
