Last year we tried planting asparagus. It didn’t work to well. You see we bought the crowns and procrastinated. They sat on top of our fridge in a brown paper bag for a few weeks. By the time we got them in the ground some of them were a tad moldy on the ends. Then we completely covered them with dirt. You are supposed to cover them a few inches and slowly fill in the trench as they grow throughout the summer. And then it didn’t rain. It was dry last year, really dry, and I neglected to water.
We decided to give it another go this year. Mr. B retilled the plot and we made it into a raised bed, easier to fill in with dirt throughout the summer. After we tilled we let it sit for a few days and then bought the crowns. I went to weed it before I planted them this weekend, they only sat two days. While I was weeding I came across this little guy.
Somehow he managed to survive our neglect, the drought, and the Garden King.
