Asparagus


It amazes me how fast new spears pop up....this is two day's worth of growth! This picture was taken from the rear of this bed, which borders our side patio. The asparagus is in the back of the bed; there are roses in the middle which should be blooming in a few weeks.

Because it was somewhat overcast today, I was able to accomplish quite a bit more than I usually do. The biggest task involved shoveling dirt to raise an area where I wanted to plant the zipper cream peas I brought back from Alabama. I also did a fair amount of weeding in several locations and worked on getting some of the sludge out of the bottom of a pond. It ought to make good fertilizer.
