April Fool - No Asparagus!

Our first Asparagus



 It may be April Fools Day but no this is no joke.

Our first asparagus had popped through the earth today.

I have grown these plants from seed, sown just three years ago.






















We have enjoyed this first 'fruit' of the season, just lightly poached and then topped with just a little melted butter and a sprinkling of sea salt and black pepper. 


Wonderful, let's just hope there will be more to come as the season continues.
