asparagus

the top photo serves two purposes...it is an update on the asparagus plant we found on planting day and it is also photographic proof that the last german butterball potato is up and running...it also forebodes a ticklish harvest since the plants are in such close proximity...here's hoping the asparagus roots don't find the spuds...the other photos are of another four asparagus plants discovered in a post-watering bed survey this evening...so...if all goes well drainage-wise we will have rooted perennials in the garden as well as plant/replant ones like the potatoes and jerusalem artichokes.
