Asparagus Finally

This much today after cutting just two days ago.

Dinner tonight was cream of asparagus soup with chicken
A week ago Dale and I weren't sure that our asparagus bed would produce enough spears to warrant the investment of sixty plants--not to mention having to wait until the third year after planting to begin harvesting, but it seems as if our patience is paying off. We've been cutting the spears every couple of days and getting enough for the two of us to enjoy plus some. It's amazing to me how fast they mature. I haven't tried it yet, but I believe you could sit and watch them grow.
