Mom planted asparagus not really thinking it would come too much. Several years later every spring, we have to go out and guard the asparagus from creatures that might eat it before Mom and Dad get to cook it. It doesn't look like much, but Mom and Dad say it is a special veggie. Mom really likes the fact that it comes back on its own every year. It doesn't have to be replanted each year and it is pretty low maintenance from a veggie growing perspective. This crop is just about ready to be picked. Mom is already trying to decide what to make this weekend.
We just want to know when we are going to get one of those dog biscuit trees. We'd take real good care of it and make sure those nasty squirrels didn't attack it. Mom keeps saying she hasn't located one yet. We think she's just too busy hunting down veggie plants for her and Dad.
Love asparagus. Lucky you. Now you need a milk bone tree. Have a marvellous Monday.

what you need is some traw all around it....that will protect if and make it grow perfectly
ReplyDeleteDo I see 3 aspasa-guys? I had no idea that they looked like asparagus just sticking out of the ground! How cool. When you get a dog biscuit tree, let me know so I can get one too!

ReplyDeleteYou can find Milkbone Seeds on Pg.87 of the Burp Ease CATalog. Ours is already sprouting.
If you find the seeds for the dog biscuit tree let us know

A milkbone crop sounds pawsome. Hope you find seeds soon.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, asparagus used to grow wild all over the place on my dad's property. Yummy stuff, although I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole as a kid.
ReplyDeleteWHAT........you don't have a Treat tree, and you doing all that work for nothing!!

We would love to plant one of those milk bone trees too. It would be much better than asparagus.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to grow asparagus, something to think about!
