This will be the 3rd year since we have planted the asparagus bed.  “They say” that this is the year we can harvest the asparagus. So exciting;  Finally after 3 year, now that is dedication to growing a vegetable!

We are keeping a watch out for SNAKES!!! A few weeks ago when we were roto-tilling the garden I found a least 6 garter snakes!! Scary, but “they say” that they are not dangerous but beneficial, as they eat mice and what not. Hummm…I don’t know. I have read that cedar mulch and sulfur will scare them away, Yes we are trying it!!!
