Now, that is a veggie I can live with.  Our favorite in this house.  I have a patch of them in their second year out back on the way to the yard.

I love them and tried to can.  They turn to mush.  Seems from what I read they don't can well.

I followed my BALL canning book. Mush!  Was so sad!  30 miles north of me they grow like weeds in the side ditch. You can go out and in 30 minutes have several Walmart bags full!

that's how i learned to do asparagus grampa lives in the dakotas and if we were visiting he would have us kids go grab it. he showed us first but had polio and it affects how he gets around a bit. So he took advantage of his helpers. Now i look back on it as  simple and good times.

I just have a small bed, 'cause I'm the only person I know who eats asparagus. Those pickled one look delicious, but I don't get to harvest that many.
