As a follow-up to my March 24th post on cool season crops, the children started to harvest their first fresh vegetables this past week: loose leaf lettuces and asparagus. The fresh asparagus from the garden is especially delicious. I just wish we had more of it.

You're right, nothing like fresh asparagus from the garden! I buy them every week in season at a nearby farm..yum! Do they spread over the years?
How rewarding for the kids! My lettuce is far from being harvestable yet.
