welcome to my blog about food, flowers and other things that make me happy.
the last asparagus of the year
Today it was time to harvest the last asparagus of the year and let the plants grow up to gather strength for next year.
Asparagus, asparagus & asparagus
This time of the year we eat asparagus in all forms, and ways. And I don’t complain. It’s my favourite vegetable in our garden, and it keeps coming back year after year.
no waste asparagus soup
We eat asparagus almost every day now. And they grow so quickly that it’s sometimes difficult for me to have time to harvest them before they grow too big and get woody. In most of the dishes you only want to use the nice part of the asparagus. I often save the “ugly ends” in a container in the fridge and they sit there waiting to become a soup.
