Spring Garden Update

The asparagus bed, to the left, has been feeding us for a few weeks now. Asparagus straight out of the bed is SIGNIFICANTLY better than asparagus that has traveled the world prior to hitting the table. The lacy Christmas tree looking things are what happen when you leave asparagus in the ground. The vegetables on your table were actually hoping to become four foot tall lacy plants. The lettuce, in the foreground of this second picture, has also been delicious this past week. Another thing you will never buy in the grocery store if you've had it directly from the ground. Major taste improvement. Those are onions in the middle of that bed, with potato plants closer to the fence. The potatos are under the dirt under the plants.
Oh....and beehives in the background!
