Rhubarb, out of control.
You can order asparagus roots and plant them. Or you can grow them from seed (adds a year to the process). I ordered a 100 seeds a few years back and planted them in a seed bed. Then a kid (not one of ours) stepped on them, then once they made it to the garden the bunnies and deer ate them. This is all I have left:
I was able to till up the garden beds. I am especially proud of the first one. It is perfect, ages manure, peat moss, and organic material. It is so fluffy and soft I dont even want to plant anything in it.
#2 helped me put some wild cherry limbs in the ground for the peas to vine around.
I went out to the hive and added the super. The bees are crazy this time. Wow.
You may see this field of dandelions as a nucance, but I dont. One, the pilgrims brought them over as a green. But to me they are colorful and bees love 'em. People often ask me what type of flowers should they plant for the bees. I tell them dandelions. Bees are lazy, they like to get the greatest amount of nectar with the least amount of effort.
Finally, while walking around the hive I noticed the emergence of Jack In the Pulpits. What a wildflower to be growing in the parsonage yard...
