Asparagus!

Yay! asparagus for me! well in a couple of years anyway.....
I put these crowns in about a month and a half ago, at the bottom of the garden in a little spot that doesn't quite fit into my crop rotation scheme. The area is not quite in the brassica or onion beds, it is too small for anything tree sized, and is far enough from the lawn that it will be undisturbed by children (crossing fingers).
I was stepping around on my pavers/bed dividers yesterday, trying to figure out which seedlings were onions, which were leeks and which were a dead loss (must get new, better labelling tags), when I noticed bits of green sticking out of the nicely weed free 'asparagus bed' (note: although it sounds good, the asparagus bed consists of eight crowns) .
I nearly fell over when I realised that they WERE asparagus. So I dash inside, grab my new camera and spend the next half an hour (allocated for transplanting before getting oldest child from school) playing about/taking photos of my 10cm tall asparagus spears. So much for getting jobs done.....
