Default routine as routine gets


With great regret I have to stop cutting the asparagus Not
long now for globe artichokes

with it being so dry did you manage much of an
asparagus harvest?


Due to watering it was OK but not great. The fronds are all blowing
over in the wind now...


i'm not sure how easily it spreads by seeds but so far
i've not been able to get "wild" asparagus to take when
i've harvested seeds and then scattered them, but then
we don't have much prime space for them to grow. purely
whimsical and hoping to increase their population.



Birds spread the seeds here. Anywhere there is a shrub that the little
fruit/seed eating birds hide in there will be asparagus seedlings
underneath.
