Asparagus action

Written by: adekun on 27 March, 2008 12:01 pm - Filed under: blog

It’s been a busy month both in and out of the garden. The cabbage went to soup; eight mini ones (those that didn’t swell) with some of the beetroot. My wife made lots of kimchi with the hakusai. I’ve been trying to manage the consumption of the latter around teaching. On Tuesday I espied the first asparagus thrusting through the earth. Once I’ve finished in the current undertaking in the garden I’ll post a photo. In the meantime, anyone interested in Japanese rock gardens may want to check this article I got sent.

Japan in Motion

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve just added your blog to Japan in Motion’s new blogs on Japan site. It’s new, and you’re actually our first entry, but we’re hoping to add a new Japan-related blog several times a week. If there are any Japan blogs you’re especially fond of, maybe you could let us know? Thanks, and good luck with the asparagus.

Hi Adekun,
Haven’t visited for a while, but good to see that things are already blooming in your garden! Hard to believe … we had more snow today (in Maine, USA) but DO have daffadils coming up in spite of our long winter!

I’ll send you an email jim. Thanks for the inclusion.
Meg, our daffs have been lifted now they have finished and lying in a pile. I’m using their space for something I hope will be more productive. Hopefully the bulbs will come up elsewhere next year. I think the tulips came with them though Although rainy and cold think we have escaped the snow.

I don’t even want to think about the smells of first time parenthood!.. I do have a little tip of asparagus showing its face above the soil for the first time. So exciting to see a series of ‘firsts’ in the garden this time of year. Have you had your first cherry blossom yet?

The sakura started in Tokyo last week. Here I guess will be in the next week. It should be the first asparagus harvest too.
