Thanks, Cyndi! The Excalibur Nine-Tray is the one we've been coveting. We're going to have to be patient and save up for it. I think it will definitely be the fall before we order it.

Kim, that's just the one I want, too. Wonder if there's any chance of getting a used one on Craigslist or something?

Cyndi, the ground veggies are a brilliant idea!

Yippee! My asparagus is ready! I didn't even clean off the bed this spring and there it is. ASparagus and salmon for dinner for sure tonight.

I am sooooo jealous of you who have grown asparagus- I need to look into that! My fave is probably in risotto- sometimes I make it with brown rice instead of arborio- almost as good I use veggie stock and crimini mushrooms, and some fresh parmesan to flavor! YUM!

Ruth, if I cut what's growing, will more come up? At some point, should I let some of them grow?

Laurie, go ahead and cut until they get ahead of you and start to go to seed. I sometimes have asparagus until the end of June and then I let it grow. If we get a hot spell and it gets ahead of me, I have to quit picking earlier.
