my gardens are just getting going up here in northern montana. but the asparagus is coming in by the handfuls every other day. i share the garden with weeds and mice as much of it is mulched with about four or more inches of leaves and hay. that keeps the ground moist at all times under it and doesnt let it dry out and get rock hard. the mulch turns to soil each year and makes it good growing without any fertizers or herbisides. the bugs are no problem as the plants are healthy and healthy plants resist bugs. miracle gorwn ones dont do so well in that regard.
my sweet corn is going gangbusters and is about 4 inches high. that is great as you usually cant plant it till june first. global warming seems to have moved up our growing season two weeks. tonight rhubard strawberry pie.
