First New Asparagus Spear!!

Nice warm day today, so I went out to the asparagus field and sure enough, there were the first few tiny little tips adventuring out of the ground. April 20 is about the earliest that the asparagus has ever been up. This is telling us that the asparagus is alive and well and eager to get growing, but we need frost free nights before we will actually be able to get enough growth to start picking. There is a low of -3 in the forecast, so I don't think that we will be started picking for a few days, yet.
