asparagus




i was on campus today because my son was taking a math placement test ( be forewarned...there will be a full compliment of mccolly males roaming the ivied campus this fall..i'm the one with the beard ) convieniently being given in hawthorn hall, so i stopped in at the garden to check my wormy pals and i found asparagus up and running...four of the eight i planted last friday have emerged...the photos are of the biggest one...so it seems that my scheme to use the sandy subsoil as drainage is working...so far...now all they need is all the organic matter they can handle...but that's why the worms are there to convert mulch to plant food...we will work the natural processes like all agriculturalists...hopefully with more respect for them than some in industrial food.
