asparagus is here

i looked out into the yard today and noticed my asparagus spears were starting to come up.  asparagus is a perennial so each year you can harvest off the same plants.  this is the third growing season for my plants so i should be able to harvest them for 4 weeks or so.  each year, you can harvest them for longer as the plants get more established.  i love asparagus, so it will give me something to look forward to during dinner the next few weeks.
