A few days of 100ºF heat is all it takes to turn asparagus into a giant, flowering bush!

This is our third season gardening here, so we haven’t harvested asparagus yet. Unfortunately, it is planted in a bad location; it was one of the first things we put in the yard and didn’t give much thought to where the garden would go before we planted it, so it is awkwardly right between the garden and the compost pile, and it gets walked over a lot.

I’ve read that asparagus is difficult to transplant, but I may try moving it to a better location.

I didn’t think the asparagus was going to come up, but all the rain recently must have done it some good.  Its planted in the far corner my my garden plot next to the compost and past the strawberries.
