What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

One of my asparagus plants from last year's planting is up w-a-y ahead of any of the others. Purple! I am putting in another row of them right beside this, and enjoying it just as much as I did last year. Not at all, yes.

There is about 4 inches/ 10 cm of decent soil, here, a layer of heavy clay under that, and tons of rocks. All the other rocks I found today were small or moderate, but this one was big, incredibly heavy, and right-smack in my way. It took close to a third of the time I spent gardening today just to deal with this one rock.

I filled the trench partway back in with the better soil, some sand, and a big load of last fall's dead leaves. If life doesn't give you sandy loam, CHEAT!

I also have three big holes dug at the lower end of the asparagus, where there is too much shade from the woodshed. I'm going to plant sweet potatoes there, and hope that the vines run toward the sun and make a nice weed-suppressing layer amongst the mature asparagus stalks. A vertical plant, a spreading, low-growing plant, we'll see if it all works out.

Wet clay. So heavy. It's only fun if you want to take a wet handful and squish up a little paleolithic-style bear figurine.

The peas, radishes, and other cool-tolerant crops are looking hopeful. This will be the first garden since my husband's retirement last fall. He's enjoying it. Will any of the peas actually make it into the house? Ha. Haha.

no one tells you this but once you start cooking a lot you quickly realize the hardest part about cooking has nothing to do with the actual act of cooking. it's when you're cooking more than one thing at a time and you have to time it so it all finishes roughly around the same time. the asparagus will never be done baking at the same time that you have to drain the ravioli that's just a fact of life.

i ate some green bell pepper last night (one of my foods i have a hard time with texture-wise) with a bite of jerk pasta and i actually enjoyed it... the texture is still a bit much for me but i think having bell pepper diced rather than cut into strips would help with that. nevertheless i am proud of myself for continuing to make steps to try foods i usually stray away from - last year i did so with mushrooms and now i'm a mushroom fiend, plus more recently i ate caramelized onions and didn't just scrape them to the side, though im still not a fan. i think another attempt with asparagus or maybe sweet potatoes soon will also be helpful for me but i'll need to work up to it

Eating a "big salad" for lunch and it's gross and I hate it and I want fried chicken or oily stew. Try as I might to force-feed myself vegetables for the nominal sake of health, I Hate them, I have a toddler's palate. Anyway we have spinach, kale, carrots, purple cabbage, roasted broccoli, roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, almonds, and "green goddess" dressing, it's the least objectionable salad one could possibly assemble for my tastes and I'm making that poison sticker Yuck! face with every bite

UPD: taking the L and admitting I do feel much better physically after eating a vegetable for the first time in days lmao

I managed to complete this project without making my shoulder any worse! Twelve nice, healthy-looking asparagus roots from "Johnny's Select Seeds," the purple variety.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with the extra soil in the wheelbarrow. I have to wait until the asparagus is up to replace it in the bed. Bare-root asparagus must be planted fairly deep, but it can't sprout through 8 inches of soil; you have to plant it with just a little soil covering the roots and then add more as it grows.

Digging all those vines out was a chore.

Quite a few of the ones I planted in a different bed last year are poking up, now! I HOPE they don't get frost-killed. I should fertilize them. Hmm.
