Ours are just kicking in here in west Michigan. We have 4 rows about 6 foot long each. Enough for the 2 of us easy. I never freeze any and we never buy it at the store. When it’s fresh it has so much flavor and a sweetness you don’t find at the store. Plus it is on sale this week 1.99 a pound. Yikes! Glad we have our own. Today its a grilled basket of veggies including asparagus. And a couple of marinated chicken breasts.
You have a ton of that! I have a 4x4 bed and thats it. I am the only one who eats it, so I didn’t go crazy with it. Wish I had planted more though. It is great on the grill.
