BJ, we went out to the wild asparagus, and I cooked the whole batch 1 piece that was eatable. LMBO But we wanted to see what it tasted like. Made me want lots more. I steamed it, then put melted butter on it and cut it in half. We both agreed that it's better than we can buy in the store.
I wish you could of seen us trying to dig it up. It was on a hill, not a gently sloping hill, mind you, in amongst those orange day lillies. By the time Bettie could see it they were too big to eat. We took a sharp shooter and I told DH to brace himself, hold on to me & I'd have to jump on it. Our ground on our side of the county is soggy but down in those lilies it was dry as a bone. Well, to make a long story short, the spade hit a clod of the daylilies, I slid off the spade, let go of DH with my other had & went down on my b--- in the lilies & slid 1/2 way down the hill. I laughed so hard I couldn't hardly ge up. At least it was soft landing. We thought it was on her creek bank not a flower bank and that there was an abundance of it. We did get all of it, unless the roots that were left spread out & makes more next year. There were maybe 10 -12. We have them in a bucket of potting soil until we find out where to put them. Now, I dig about 12" down & bury them? I'm going to put some of the Miracle Grow potting mix in with my dirt when we dig the trench. I want to do this right so we have some to eat next year. This should give you your laugh for the day.
Yesterday was one of those days that you go to do what you think is a few minutes and goes into hours. Two of the things we did were like that. Then we decided to go eat at Cracker Barrel before we dug up the asparagus. After we go home we had to wash the car to get the splatters off where some guy could of missed a huge puddle but decided to drive thru it. After that DS came over & we stayed outside talking for the longest, changed clothes then he called, wanted to know if we wanted to go to Wally World with him so we had to change out of our comfy clothes. I think we checked out about everything in the store & got home at 10:30. LOL
How is your DH? On the road to recovery? I hope you don't get it.
