Another summer like day, plenty warm and plenty of sunshine. The asparagus arrived the other day (Heirloom Variety Mary Washington) so today I made it priority to at least start the bed. I managed to prepare an area in the front portion of the side yard and get 8 crowns in. I plan to do 4 more, for a total of 12- 2 year crowns- either another short row or lengthen the 2 rows I have now. That's 2 days now of playing hooky from tax work. Yesterday I cut/sized the last of my 2x10 salvaged lumber- enough for a 4.5'x 7' raised bed that I'll hopefully get set up tomorrow.
