Maybe it's just that I'm impatient -- don't you have to let the plant grow without picking the fronds, for at least a couple of years? I guess I am just used to limiting myself to the young asparagus I find on my hikes in the spring. Your brother is lucky -- and generous to share his asparagus with you.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967323387645271468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138938.post-81535029680761218612006-11-20T21:53:00.000-07:002006-11-20T21:53:00.000-07:00I love to pick and eat the skinny shoots in my bro...I love to pick and eat the skinny shoots in my brother's garden!

Waiting to be able to get a new computer to replace my poor, deceased computer. <br /><br />Fresh asparagus is in the stores this week -- for Thanksgiving dinner I guess -- but so expensive! And <i>nothing</i> in taste compared to the shoots you pick yourself -- or even to the tender narrow shoots the produce markets will have in early spring.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967323387645271468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138938.post-33669197888921484012006-11-20T08:47:00.000-07:002006-11-20T08:47:00.000-07:00As always, love your visuals.
