Not thinking ahead, I ATE everything that presented itself....
lol, well, with asparagus that is understandable! I guess the key is to plant enough that you can make yourself sick on it and still leave enough to survive for the next year...
I actually just made my first picking tonight, which is extremely (like about a month) early here.. we had such mild weather last month, then things got colder again so I covered the asparagus patch with "floating row cover" (Reemay or the like) to protect it a little. DH could not believe it when I walked in with this bunch... and I swear it was about the best asparagus I've ever eaten, not sure if it is actually sweeter and tastier when it grows in cold weather, or if we're just that starved for fresh garden veggies...
