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.

D’oh! Sorry about the Bonnie plants. I hope they show up by you! I was thrilled to the gills finding those Shishito peppers you recommended. :)

Another failure I’m currently having is my Nasturtium. Of an entire FLAT I have exactly ONE germinated so far. Not sure what happened. I soaked them for 24 hours prior and it was all fresh seed.

This year is just ONE frustration after the next...and I’m not even talking about the weather! Ugh! This week we go STRAIGHT to the 80’s with rain & storms!

Proud of ya on your Asparagus patch. :)
