Asparagus



Off to our local Pick Your Own farm, for our first visit of the season.


The only crop available at the moment is asparagus.  It looks as if nothing is growing in the field but as my little girl and I wandered up the furrows we were both astonished by the sight of the spears poking up through the soil.  It was the first time I'd seen asparagus growing too! 


We ate the tender spears that night, lightly steamed with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and some butter. 


 The next trip to restock is already being planned!
