Hi

Love the video

I make a Raised bed just for my asparagus, so I just add more soil every month till it reaches the best level. I also love to plant various dif varieties at same time.

@invisiblegardener Good plan to diversify your varieties. Have you ever grown purple asparagus?

its interesting, u are using wood + water there, i thought it used to rot i guess i'll try  to use wood from now.. thanks

@Mydtys Wood does eventually rot, nothing lasts forever. Raised beds are typically made of untreated cedar or redwood because they have the best weather resistance.

I have roasted it in the oven. I also like it steamed with salt and butter. :-)

I can't imagine how much better it will be right out of the garden vs. storebought.

I can eat the whole head of broccoli out of the garden that is sooo good! Much more tender and I don't cook that long at all! I just trimmed off a bowl full of side shoots tonight!

This year I'm going to also try some cauliflower...since the broccoli is so tasty. lol

@gardenvespers777 Mmmm you're making me hungry for vegetable season!

What is the size of this high bed frame and is it higher for some specific fruit and vegetables?

Love your videos!

@groworganic  Mayo mixed with a little lemon juice (or just the lemon-infused olive oil) AND TARRAGON!

@gardenvespers777 Wonderful! There is nothing like fresh asparagus. How do you like to eat it? My favorite is grilled with salt, pepper, and butter.
