actually you can almost see it grow. What was just barely peeking through
the ground Tuesday is now 10" high and will be picked tomorrow.


Picked a few pounds - we ALL ate good tonight.


Did you ever try mounding the soil up around the shoots as they do in
Europe? Keeps them from getting green and makes for a different flavor.
