Asparagus

Okay, so my asparagus is slow in producing, but it is early and I have gotten more than 2 dozen healthy shoots off the 12 crowns I put in last year.  I knew it would be a slow process and the 3rd year is the first year of usable production.  Due to my elevated anticipation, I was hoping for at least 2 dozen shoots to devour a week and am therefore let down.  However, with the past few days rain and more on the horizan followed by some bright warm sunshine, I may yet meet my anticipated harvest.
