First Asparagus

2 years ago we planted our asparagus seeds. Everyone says the 3rd year you can start eating it. We're at year number 3 so we gave it a go! We had small stalks coming up that were looking like they need to be picked.


We cut a small bunch but enough for us to try.


And the results? Well, some of them were great. Tender and delicious, but a few of them had the consistency of a stick. You could hardly cut it and then when you tried to chew it, it was like eating sugar cane. Very odd. I'm hoping as the season goes on we'll get more tender ones. Still makes me excited since it seems like this state will never give us warm weather to plant anything else. :P
