I found the asparagus patch! I love exploring a new garden.[More:]I've been away for a bit, and decided to walk around the garden around my cabin and see what's there. Our Lady of Perpetual Intoxication had told me that she planted asparagus somewhere a few years ago so that was the main goal, but not the only one. I did indeed find the asparagus, badly overgrown but with one stalk already poking its head up. I also found two fruit trees I didn't realize were there, bringing the total to, I think, six. There's a huge swath of daffodils in one corner of the vegetable garden, just starting to bloom. She'd also mentioned garlic, and I found several clumps of garlic greens, as well as raspberry canes, rhubarb, tulips, crocosmia, forget-me-not, and a shwack of other plants I can't identify yet. The garden's been neglected for a year or two so I have my work cut out for me, but with so much good stuff to start with it should be very exciting. Um, if you like that kind of thing.
to me that sounds like Christmas morning! I so wish I had more time for the garden. Crocosmias always remind me of my Gran's garden, I smile everytime I see them and think of her.I have some beautiful fiery red ones (her's were more orange)that I can't wait to see.

Oooh what a treasure! I never knew asparagus looked like little trees, or bamboo almost, and could get really tall! That's gonna be some tasty pickins, elizard. :)

Mmm, raspberries....you are so lucky. I haven't put any in because I couldn't take the 2-year wait...!

Asparagus is an even longer wait - the main reason I haven't bothered, although I've got an even longer wait for the apricot and apple trees.
