Hi all; here in this crazy Colorado weather my asparagus shot up 2 feet in a week and half. Then we got snow. Before the snow, I did get drop cloth plastic over the plants after a good watering. Unfortunately the weight of the snow caused the plants to bend over at the top. Should have gotten some longer sticks to lift the plastic. Curious if anyone is an asparagus expert? Should I have done something different? I took the plastic off the next day when it got up to 65, now it's 70+ but we never plant till after Mother's Day.

I have some diy plans in the works and you guys are my testers to see if your interested. Plan 1 - raised bed build with how to treat naturally, what to fill it with and how to plant 🥕 Plan 2 - compost bay 💩 plan 3 - log store 🪵

Just use membrane, compost bag, or hessian, added moist soil, roll it up and keep it tight with sting or and elastic band and you can grow a lot of seeds in a small space

This year, as soon as the first seed heads set I'm planning on growing microgreens from them. Personally I love dandelions, only this morning I saw a patch of the bright yellow flowers then as an afterthought noticed the daffodils growing in amongst them, not explored all the herbal applications of this plant yet but I understand that they bring up nutrients from deep in the soil via their tap roots .

What's the most joyful part been a farmer
