When I first started gardening at this house (5 years ago) I bought lumber for raised beds, mushroom compost, hours building the beds ..... see where this is going? I raised 30 dollar a pound tomatoes that first year. I'm probably down to 10 bucks a pound now. (and round up took care of the zuchinni)
But oh my .... that first tomatoe of the season ... that first small batch of tender asparagus .... that first mess of green beans.....I tell you is better than S.E. _ ... no never mind ... I won't go that far. I'm just an old tired Master Gardener on the twelve step program. "Hi .. I'm Ned and I am "sniff sniff" ..... a plantaholic ...sigh"
We planted some asparagus a few years ago but havan;t gotten more than a spear or two. Any advice?
Hiram..... baby.....
Knock on my door... I will answer in a heartbeat! I have learned to take *anything* from anybody if I ever want more. I have been given stuff that needed to be eaten soon that I didn’t get to. So, my compost pile loved it. But my friend was happy that he gave away his excess, and I was happy with what I did get to, so every body wins.
Now, as to why I have a compost pile when I don’t garden... that’s a really good question.
