Yes! Oh Yes! Asparagus!

True love is waiting 2 years to eat asparagus from the garden!  I planted asparagus from seed two years ago and this is the spring we will get to finally eat some!  Asparagus is one of those wonderful perennial vegetables that you can count on for up to 20 years.  The front load investment is that you need to let all the spears grow without cutting any for the first two growing seasons so the rhizome can fully develop and get strong for a long life of harvesting.  You still need to be careful even when you are harvesting not to over-harvest the plant and leave some of the spears to grow out.  I have 4 beds planted, which should be enough for our family. (For me anyways!)
