23rd of March should be the first day of the
gardening new year, or at least in my garden.
I mark this great day by the arrival of the first
Asparagus. The asparagus must have some
sort of internal clock that tells it when to
come up. And the little shoot usually bring
with it good weather, a good indicator of
when to start planting other goodies.
There is something else odd about this plant
and when it pops up. I've heard tell of an old wives
tale that says asparagus likes to come up after a
lighting storm. Well guess when this first batch
popped up, you guest it, the first good lighting storm
of the year. This odd little plant has always been my favorite.
Tune in Next for friend and foe of my garden and planting updates.
I call this one Honeyweed. Does any body know the name?
