Beds are ready for planting, so we went to the house to plant direct sow seeds as well as transplant the vegetables we started indoors with grow lights.
Exciting! It may be a bit early for some of the plants, but we’re rolling the dice. If not, we can try again as it’s still the beginning of the growing season.

Asparagus
Won’t be able to harvest these this year, but this is a vegetable that is a lifer. These need to be established, so we won’t harvest this year (if they even produce asparagus stalks). We’re going to let it grow, photosynthesize and become strong. An established plant can produce for over 20 years! This was a “shortcut”, as we bought asparagus crowns (which is like the root system). If we did it from seed, we wouldn’t be harvesting until at least year 3.
Used the trench method and keeping them in the vegetable patch for its forever home.
