Picked all the asparagus that was barely poking out of the ground because it's going to freeze tonight. But this might be the last below freezing night. Maybe. Please.

A handful of very short asparagus spears in a woven willow basket, sitting in front of a grassy field with ominous looking clouds and some scrubby trees in the background that are maybe barely starting to get some green on them.

@sundogplanets Turn picked to pickled!

@sundogplanets I am so jealous. That's the kind of asparagus my Father grew in MJ and that I remember from supermarkets in the West in general. The stuff I see in the market in Montreal is spindly, skinny stuff. The largest stalk in a bunch, if you're lucky, is still smaller round than an HB pencil. And half the length of the stalks is always unusable timber. My mouth is watering looking at your harvest!!

@znoteer After moving once a year on average for my entire adult life until I moved to Saskatchewan, I am so so SO grateful to live in the same spot long enough to grow asparagus! Finally!!

@sundogplanets

The asparagus looks good, and I love the basket!
