Our potatoes and tomatoes are already blooming and we’re picking peas and spinach. Lettuce and radishes were ready at the end of March. We plant by the moon too, but we started in March with the early, frost-tolerant things like potatoes and lettuces, etc, and took a chance in April on the tomatoes. We dodged the frost last week but just barely. I expect to have beans by the end of June if the electric fence, dogs and scary scarecrow keep the varmints out.

LOVE YOUR BLOG!

Planting asparagus has nothing to do with the moon. It has a story all it’s own. I recommend reading up on this. I discovered that growing asparagus is a trial on it’s own. Can’t give you any advice, but please do research it, as it is not an easy thing to grow and takes more than one year to develop a healthy asparagus bed. Much work. I once wanted to compensate a man who had done some work on my farmhouse and he wanted asparagus planted in return. It was difficult to compensate because it takes awhile to establish a bed. I am a master gardener and was a challenge for me. I love your blog.
