With a forecast of -6 a few nights ago, three of us went out to the aspargus field and picked any tips that were up on our sandy ridge that warms up early. We picked for about an hour and found about five or six pounds of delicious, young tender (very short) tips. My granddaughter is very proudly displaying the tallest tip that she found, then very quickly ate just as soon as she posed for the picture.
We will be picking asparagus just as soon as it quits freezing at night and it warms up to seasonal temperatures.
This RAIN that we are getting today is very, very badly needed as we have been extremely dry.
