Second year asparagus started up today. Cant wait until next year. Going to try and wait till third year to harvest. Vegetable gardening is kind of like fishing, Almost everyone likes to do it even if they don't. LoL
I'm a low level wannabe gardner, have very little clue as to what I'm doing.
We've got a 15x25 raised bed and this year I'm going to try lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumber, squash, cantaloupe, carrots, and corn.
We've got some asparagus that we've had for about 3 years.
I don't plant much of any one thing since we don't find time to preserve any of it. I'll just be happy to get some results.
I'm also trying a few plants in Walmart reusable shopping bags, as in the modified rain gutter grow system. Has anyone tried that?

Our garden is 70' X 40'. Planted my seeds last week and went to Attwoods for one of the small green houses they had on sale. Noticed some heads popping out of the pots yesterday.
I've got 16 tomato plants, mostly heirloom varieties, and some jet star. Spaghetti squash, 15 red, green, yellow bell peppers and 4 jalapeño mild variety.
I get a soul sample analyzed every year to see what the soil needs.
Dammed wind!!
Our asparagus patch is 4' wide and 60' long. Some of the crowns are 25 years old. The newest are 10 or so years old. The Jersey Giants do the best. We get about 1-2 lbs a day at the peak of harvest.
Sorry to see the wind got ya!!! Think I am going to add to my 5'x8'
Wow, that's awesome, we love asparagus.. Bummer to see the green house, had one much like it years back and suffered the same exact fate one spring..
Picked about 10 or so spears so far in the last three days. That warm spell got them growing.
Currently in year two of purple potatoes. Love them! Bought a pack of 8 seed potatoes last year and did a raised bed of amended native soil. Did mediocre with it, but had 2 dozen seed potatoes for a new crop and about 3 months of weekend eggs and hash breakfasts.
Almost ready to harvest this year from the seed potatoes from last. Did a container so I can just dump them over and collect. Pretty soon!!!

If it's your first time, anything edible is a success...
