Better than everyone in the stalls with closed doors

And after or despite this discussion, any grilled veggie sounding really good right now!

Grilled asparagus is good...grilling it with some olive oil, s&p and a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and wrapping it in bacon...GREAT!

Super easy to grow & maintain. The initial planting is some work but will produce for 15-20 yrs.

I dug a trench using my troy bilt horse. Till and remove loose dirt till I got down 2 feet. Then I went to the river with my speargun and shot a mess of carp and brought them back to place in the bottom of the trench. I added composted horse manure,Blood meal and bone meal and soft phosphate rock to the loose dirt on the side of the trench and mixed it with the tiller. Then I backfilled to cover the fish and made mounds to spread the roots over them evenly and back filled to 1" above the crowns.As the tips emerged I continued to back fill till the loose dirt was all on top of the crowns. They say 3 years before harvest but with all the amendments I was picking in 2 years and it is a very healthy stand of asparagus. Lot of work pays off in the end
