land squid

[boxofdelights]

I planted asparagus today. I dug a trench, a foot wide a foot deep twenty feet long. I sprinkled sulfur along the bottom. I made ten mounds in the trench, half compost half soil with a spoonful of fertilizer with iron and a pinch of superphosphate each. I put five Jersey Giant and five Purple Passion bare root plants on the mounds. Not next year but the year after I will eat the asparagus.

Behold my squidlets before they go under the earth forever!

Land squids! That is a very long payoff period. I hope they are delicious.

Joy! I love fresh asparagus.

Gardening requires such *patience!* I wish those little ones the best as they grow. M.

You did a much more thorough job of preparing your asparagus bed than I did last year... which is probably why only half of my asparagus has come back this year. Sorry, squidlets! I should have taken better care of you!
