Then you start wondering what to do with all the time - well until you decide to move ;><br /><br />Jan, It is that time of the year.<br /><br />Thomas, I was expecting a real rain on Thursday and all we got was a short thundershower. I guess we are due for more rain early next week.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-55586059351290644992010-04-22T23:05:04.807-04:002010-04-22T23:05:04.807-04:00Glad you got some work done before the rains came....Glad you got some work done before the rains came.

But it's that time of year and I spent two hours myself this afternoon getting some more onions in. I haven't a clue if it's the "right" time of year or not but a load have just gone to seed and so I wanted more!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430236104525571846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-71485380196033358022010-04-22T12:23:47.731-04:002010-04-22T12:23:47.731-04:00Whoa!

Who ...Miss M, well our house is for sale right now. Who knows when it will sell. I'm not planning on taking my soil. I figured that would be really mean whether or not they want a garden there. If they are going to remove the garden I'm guessing I'll take a lot of the things in it though.<br /><br />Megan, It will have cedar boards for the edges. I will miss the rustic look of my current garden with the downed trees as edging. The plants will all stay. Ripping up the landscaping is considered a bad thing. If they say they don't want them, I'll probably take them along with me though. I can take cuttings of things though. Raspberries always send up shoots in all the wrong places. I can always dig those up when I need them and plant them at the new house (once I have a place for them).<br /><br />Jody M, Thanks for the info. I've never heard of anyone harvesting the first year. I guess if the spears are big enough it works.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-22437919176714421672010-04-22T08:45:24.212-04:002010-04-22T08:45:24.212-04:00RE: Asparagus beds.

Spring 2009, I cut for 2 weeks and got 2 lbs. Fall 2009, I composted again. This spring, so far, I'm over 2 lbs and have been cutting less than 2 weeks. 28 plants total.Jody Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319247865999565138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50842571357517705582010-04-22T08:32:21.193-04:002010-04-22T08:32:21.193-04:00I am going to miss this garden.

Just curious, I'm not really sure how that works, since I've never sold a house, just bought one.
