Asparagus or human fingers.

They look like human fingers coming up through the ground.....which is odd, since I'm certain this isn't where I buried the bodies. Oh crap, is this microphone on??? (delete delete delete)

Wow looks like this vid was made in 2009. Hope your still answering questions!?! How far away is your nursery and your local Wal mart? OH and your enchiladas look delish, especially with flour tortias, my favorite!!! My mother always used corn.

PS- I just found your channel : ) 12/28/11 Love watching you plant in your garden. Thanks. Bye

@kelly8353 I always answer question. :)

My nearest nursery was a few miles away. Not much selection at all. Walmart was 45 minutes away and had an even smaller selection. It's weird about the enchiladas. Most places use corn tortillas but they are insanely delicious with flour tortillas. People who try it this way are amazed.

Thanks for tuning in. I hope you decide to stay. I always enjoy seeing new viewers. :)

I just recently subscribed to your two sites and I just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy your "ramblings". I like asparagus too. If you have more than one, does it become aparagi? I don't have a garden yet but you've got me thinking and planning. My wife and I have a plot of land by a river in Thailand so once we finish here in Kuwait it'll be time to get my garden started. Your videos are better than TV. Thanks.

@dufffredq8 Thanks for tuning in. Best of luck on your garden once you get moved to Thailand. I hope you grow many asparaguses......asparagi.....­...asparaberries.........ummm.­.....tomatoes! :)

@picketfences1 And no pepper? hahaha how to grow pickled assparagus, lol

how do you make compost?

[Praxxus55712]

@dkim68 Oh yeah it makes sense for sure. I never know exactly where my shoots will come up. One here, one there........oops there's one way over there! lol

Each spring I toss on a layer of compost on each plant before it sprouts. The pile of compost is 2 inches deep and 2 feet across. This helps kill/suffocate the weed sprouts due to lack of sunlight but allows the asparagus to come up since it will push through a thick layer of compost easily. That's all I do.

@Praxxus55712 thanks for the tip. I did what you said for this year's plants and it's working well. Another question, what is the extent of the growth radius for asparagus? I ask because the weeds get out of control around the asparagus plants. I'd like to lay down weed barrier cloth around the plants but realized the shoots don't always emerge exactly from the center every year. They sort of pop up all over. So I'd like to block the weeds but not block the asparagus. Does that make sense?
