We are picking asparagus !!

Finally, NO FROST !! and the temperature has been warmer every day and night. The soil had cooled down with the recent rain and snow so it takes a couple of days to get it warmed up. Sunday, May 16 we started picking in a serious way. With 25 degrees the asparagus took off like crazy so we had to get over some of the field twice. The first day and already a long hard day's work. 1/3 of the field is slower so we will start picking it today. We will have all three of our Asparabuggies running and a crew of 10 people helping. If it gets really crazy I will be phoning some of our wonderful casual help to come as well.
