That is GORGEOUS! Asparagus season is done by me, BUT I can still get it at the grocery store. My patch is really lame and needs some work. I miss my 40-foot, established row at the other farm. :(

We REALLY love Asparagus oven-roasted. Once you try it, it’s hard to make it any other way. Easy-Peasy!
