I peeked under the straw this afternoon.  I think about the asparagus every day.  I’m not impatient exactly…  I’m just incredibly excited to see how it grows this year.  I hope it tastes good.

We’ve been planning to build some new raised beds out back along the south side of the house, and I’ve been waiting for David to show me his plans for them.  Today he surprised me by sectioning off twice as much grass area than I thought we’d use for these new beds.  That means we’ll have a huge amount of new, prime growing space this year, and we even have a plan for expanding the new beds in the future.  This curious, little farm might really happen!

While David was digging out the grass, I worked in the main garden, moved some landscape timbers, and began cleaning up an herb bed that was looking a little haggard.  Felt good to be out there.
