Asparagus Tips

1/11/2018

Yes, pun intended.

1. Size Matters - The thicker stalks are good for roasting and grilling.  The thin stalks can be eaten raw, blanched or in a stir-fry

2.  Did you know asparagus is in the lily family?  That's why it's best to store it standing in a jar of water in the refrigerator. 

3.  Cut off the woody bottom part of the stalks and toss in the compost pile.  Chop, eat raw or cook the upper  part of the stalk.

Low 60's.... Now that's more like it!  Nothing like a 40 degree warmup.

Happy New Year everyone!  Hope your year is off to a great start.  A little cold here in Texas! 

Wanted to share our new logo with everyone.  Can't wait to start using it.  Being January, and seeing the new logo, I'm getting my annual case of spring fever!  Have been working on starting more compost and filling new gardens this fall and winter.  Now it's time to  begin the 2018 garden plan and to get out the seed catalogs!

Let us know what you think of the logo!
