They were planted last Friday, April 15. When we moved out here and built the ranch so Grandma Mimi could be on one floor and we would not have to worry about her falling because of steps, there was not a single tree on the property. How I wish she were alive to see the trees now.
The asparagus is coming up with the first few spears quickly picked and eaten raw. The sweetness, the crunch, the beautiful shade of green with those funny-looking tips puts asparagus in a class of its own. Plus this vegetable, the first to harvest out here on the Illinois prairie, is packed with vitamins and antioxidants. When I eat raw asparagus, my brain plays tricks and I think I'm superwoman, strong as an ox!
