espárragos

Freshly harvested asparagus.  I ate the purple ones!  Well, the green ones, too.  The Victorinox is there to provide scale.

When you let asparagus grow, it becomes this fern-like plant that yields red berries.  It attracts aphids and, consequently, ladybugs.

If you go up and over a tad, you can see Renée and Sandy's house.

Dayum! Asparagus in March. I am the jellis.

I will be looking for mine April/May, and hoping I beat the damn horses to it this year.

Oh, no, this is a picture from last year. Right now there's only cabbage and broccoli in the garden.

Gah! Gah! Gah! Gah! EeeK!

I used to spend weekends at a time picking that stuff. And I disliked it beforehand.

OTOP, I recently ate at a rather good restaurant attached to the hotel I was staying at, that made a fantastic prawn and asparagus dish where I couldn't taste the asparagus despite its majority share holding. And I didn't pay for it! Work did!

I never cared for asparagus until i had it fresh from the garden. Everything's better fresh from the garden.
