Well, I ordered it a month and a half ago and it finally arrived - asparagus. It's really gnarly looking. The instructions that came with it are two pages long. Those who know me well, know that I hate reading instructions. It's not that I can't read them, I can read. I don't know what it is about them... I, ahm, need pictures. In the education world, we'd say that I am a "visual learner". Right, that's it, I am a visual learner.
I also appreciate bulleted instructions. So, anyone willing to offer those? Be my guest. And then in a few years when I am able to bust into the asparagus, you will be the one I bow to, promise.
In other news, fortunately we didn't get any snow, but much of Maine did yesterday. It's cold out and I am running out of room indoors to put my seedlings. They are about the kitchen and we currently have nowhere to eat or prep food - but it's for the sake of the watermelon, the basil and the peppers at the very least. Oh! And the pumpkins are starting to germinate. Yahoo!
Get out there and buy some Fiddleheads. Or better yet pick them, if you are able. Just be careful because they look like ferns that haven't matured. I stupidly made that mistake.
Happy growing, happy eating!

We planted asparagus last year. It's not bulleted, but it has pictures. Love what you guys are doing!
