It did not do well for us last year, but I'm hoping the soil improvements/relocating will do the trick.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-7698193260483462132015-05-19T07:50:35.348-04:002015-05-19T07:50:35.348-04:00Thanks, Susie.

I always hate to see the last of the asparagus. But then other things come along to take its place. I just now finished planting tomatoes, and the peppers and eggplant are still waiting to go in. It time for the big push here too!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-65084384104218940572015-05-18T20:50:22.043-04:002015-05-18T20:50:22.043-04:00Whoohoo for the first salad.

My other neighbor tells me he always waits until Memorial Day. That way he never gets surprises.

Your garden is looking great. <br /><br />I wanted to have an earlier start this year than last but it looks as if it will actually be the other way around....best laid plans and all that sort of thing. I'll be doing the bulk of my transplanting in the next week or so - I'm hoping that my plants pick up the pace once in the ground 'cause they are definitely moving at a snails pace in their cell packs.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-60204471271529750732015-05-18T11:38:28.618-04:002015-05-18T11:38:28.618-04:00Everything looks wonderful, so green and lush.

My asparagus was a bit thin so i stopped picking it after couple of weeks and let it grow better and spread for fuller harvest next year.
