I'm having my first grub from the garden. I guess it's really the last thing from last years garden. I was noticing some parsnip tops in last years garden patch and decided to see if anything was under them. I missed enough last fall to make me a nice snack on this rainy morning ;D
We've been having asparagus from our garden and I noticed the wild ones are just coming up, good stuff!
We have been eating asparagus as well. Steamed with blue cheese dressing for dip. :)
Will be pulling last years cabbage soon...pretty blue stuff...
I've got parsnip to Bro Noble, but the skunks are digging them up. ::) They are only good in the spring, that's why we leave'm. I figure that's your excuse to. ;)
Fresh asparagus? We are jealous, won't see it till June.
Cripes! We can't even plant our garden yet! It was 31 degrees this morning! Probably can't plant until after Mother's Day. Grumble grumble
My father has peas and carrots, radish and taters in. Don't despair Charlie, I ain't planting nothing for a month. Lots of time. ;D

Well, if you can't work in the garden, you have plenty of time to tell us some more railroad stories ;D
Wednesday we had lite snow, with some accumulations. Yesterday it was 13 degrees in the AM with heavy frost, this morning it was about 27 with frost again. Hopefully have the garden planted by June.
Our spring has been so warm the asparagus would be sprouted, but we have had norain at all. It is finally raining right now, all the foliage is going to explode I think. We are about 3 weeks ahead of schedule with our spring, usually it is mid to late may before the leaves are growing and you can find wild asparagus. I love asparagus, try a ham cheese and asparagus omelet- you won't regret it!
Leaves started out 2 weeks ago here, also a month ahead of normal. Everything is in flower (trees/shrubs) Not all the woodland flowers are out yet but starting. Some hillside have fiddle heads up where the sun is stronger, but not the wetter flats yet. I've mowed twice this spring in the last two weeks and never mow before week three in May usually. ::)
Farmers started planting grains this week.
We have had asparagus for a few days and rhubarb for a couple of weeks . I planted more asparagus plants yesterday ,have a few more to go and a few new rhubarb plants to put in .
I've got a few heads of broccoli about to come off...potatoes are exploding out of the ground...beans seem to be putting down roots..expect them to shoot up in the next couple of weeks..I planted a row of french garden greens a couple weeks ago..they are making an appearance...probably be eating them in a month or so...
I really need a hoop house with a shade cloth cover...my cold weather stuff always seems to burn up...
I need a hoop house with a clear cover ,my warm weather stuff tends to freeze
I just wait until June. ;D :D :D
