Asparagus Hunters

Asparagus in our front patch

Yesterday we made our first asparagus pick. When we saw a shoot in our own patch that was ready to be clipped, Hudson, Adam and I decided to take off down the road and see what else we could find. Asparagus is kind of hard to spot sometimes because it is just a shoot that sticks out of the ground. Hudson is way into it (so am I), but it is Adam who is really good at it. There are others who hunt for asparagus. I saw a car this morning pulled over in the ditch. A couple of years ago Adam actually had to put a sign in our patch for people not to pick it right out of our yard. We have some other good spots down the road that we clipped down last year’s growth so that those other guys wont be able to tell where the little honey holes are. We have claimed them. STAY AWAY! Right now the asparagus is simmering in another batch of rooster stew.
