Little asparagus seedlings look exactly like big burly asparagus plants. Only smaller. And we’re trying out green bunching onions in sets. We planted 7-8 seeds per hole. Let’s see how they go.

HOOOOOOOOOOLY MOLY! WHOA WHOA! Look at those little guys!
Asparagus is so kickass. MAN. I had no idea. I almost bought starts — ALMOST — the other day, but then was like, “No. No. Next year, start ’em from seed.” That’s right. I channeled T & J right then and there, thankyouverymuch.
I need to tell you I was screaming with joy “I have asparagus!” and running down my driveway yesterday because my plants made it through the winter. My dad asked if it was contagious. Alaskan asparagus. In a record snow winter. YES to ASPARAGUS!
