Our asparagus is just starting here. Stockton is the asparagus capital of the country. When it's in season, everyone serves it in just about every way possible.
Your poor dog. Perhaps it was the severity of the storm that scared her. Do you get a lot of thunderstorms?
Looked up Stockton and asparagus, wow looks like a lot goes on with an asparagus theme during that time. I really love to eat it and it's a real treat, short season veggie here. Maybe I'll get full this year since it started so early.
We do have a lot of thunderstorms and this one wasn't by far the worst. My kids say the dog is as neurotic as I am and that's why shes scared, but I'm not afraid of thunderstorms, instead I enjoy them. She's scared of a lot of things. I blame it on a bad early childhood. we found her hiding under our porch and adopted her.
Poor wee girl! The strays can be so weird - I presume she is fairly calm and happy the rest of the time?
I hope you were able to enjoy that asparagus. It was a BIG DEAL when I lived in Germany. Every spring, all the restaurants in our area served it by the kilo or half kilo, with butter and a bit of ham and maybe potatoes on the side. White asparagus was the best. My friend and I found some growing wild last summer, and I hope to go out soon to harvest some and transplant more to my garden. She says it is probably an escapee from a farm garden. She grew up on a farm and saw lots of it there.
She's generally quite content unless a stranger comes on to thr property, but that's her job, to let us know we're being invaded.
I don't have any white asparagus though one stalk was ver pake, found it under a flower pot. I am learning a lot of cool things about asparagus via this post. Gooc luck with finding more starts.
