You live where the exotic species Prince lives, though. I'd love to have one of those around.<BR/><BR/>HWM: My sources say that asparagus (like rhubarb and some herbs) needs a few years to get strong, if that makes sense. You can get round that a bit by buying 1 yr old crowns, but you still have to leave them for a year. It's testing my patience, I tell you. <BR/><BR/>JoVE: I'll be interested to see how asparagus does IN YOUR NEW PLACE (oops, caps key just slipped there). Do tell! Different city? Same city, different venue? <BR/>Oh, and I do have lettuce, but it's a tad chilly at night still. I found this site called PathToFreedom the other day - it's run by a family in Pasadena who have micro-farmed their entire lot and the pictures are incredible. It's inspired me to use my window boxes (north side of house) for the lettuce. I will take pictures and put them up soon.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-59259624107169326562008-05-08T06:08:00.000-07:002008-05-08T06:08:00.000-07:00Very cool.

I still haven't planted anything yet, and I fear I have to buy the vegetable plants now.Vivian Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285339307161020541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-73984094796704054232008-05-07T17:00:00.000-07:002008-05-07T17:00:00.000-07:00My goodness, you *do* live in a different climate!...My goodness, you *do* live in a different climate!
