Here is our asparagus patch on March 25th, 2010.  I am really surprised at the size of some of the shoots.  I was expecting to have tiny little shoots come up as it is only the 2nd season for this patch.

Here is the patch on April 3rd, this past weekend.  Some of the shoots nearest the house are getting really tall and starting to branch off a bit.  They are developing fastest because they are warmest near the foundation of the house.  You can see some rogue tulips which escaped being moved last spring in the middle of all the asparagus. Oh well, I'll move them after they flower...
