You ended the speaking part minute and a half early, but I still enjoyed watching the giant asparagus grow as the birds chirped. :)
You answered my question about the move, so this time you will start off, but, you will soak them and have tons of asparagus. Gardening had such a learning curve for me and my parents gardened all their lives. I think when you are doing it hands-on, or perhaps when I do it hands-on, I seem to learn more.
Anyway- enjoy those tasty-looking asparagus! When is moving day?
I looked over my video but not sure what you mean by my speaking ended early. Maybe it was still processing when you viewed it?
Hah yeah I will learn from my mistakes, and hopefully do it correctly next time.
Thanks much, moving day depends when I close on a home. I am scouting the area right now and will hopefully have something under contract by late spring or summer time. Then we plan on moving in around autumn.. of course that is if everything goes to plan. fingers crossed
Everything good seems to be flying off the shelves in the North of the State, even a little West... I say that, but, what I meant to say is the buys/nice properties do. If it has been on the market too long, they better sing me a better song.
Now that I think about it, you wanted to build, didn't you?
Yeah I have been noticing that as well, I keep finding homes on Zillow I like and within a week they are pending sale. It is a good question to ask when buying the home why it has stayed for sale so long. Or why a previous offer fall through. I can see those kind of things in Zillow so I will keep that in mind.
I was considering having one built, but my friend that does that kind of work is too busy right now. So I would rather not find a contractor that I do not know, and just buy a pre-owned home or new construction.
I look on Zillow too and most of the good ones go on the first Saturday or Sunday offered up. Usually with an open house, but, not always. Right now, the way I have been pricing it out, it is more to build it than to buy one already constructed, unless you are doing a lot of it yourself. I was hoping to step into an ICF build (OMG they are so bulletproof with the heating/cooling) and solar, a well, and septic - then call it macaroni. There is a lot of new construction, most of it being in higher density housing than I want. But, there are exceptions where they have 5 and 10 acre lots. *Why it has stayed for sale for so long? Overpriced or has some serious flaws... too close to Power Line Stations, swampy) In North Carolina around the Raleigh/Durham area, they get sucked up the first day and usually over the asking price. It's hot down there right now. To be honest, there is nothing that I can see that is making these fly so quickly except more people are moving out of the city and further away from DC... plus telecommuting has become the cheap way to float your company, especially in the high rent district.
I think it had a lot to do with your state legalizing cannabis, it's the only state in the South that has done that.. and they also have home grow which is pretty rare in medical cannabis states on the east coast.
When colorado legalized the same thing happened to the housing market in the state as they were the first to legalize.. now Virginia has done that too people are going to move to the state for more freedom.
Those tips are looking quite tasty, cannot wait to saute them in butter and eat them. I hear you can eat them raw but I would rather cook the stalks.
This stalks isn't a plant very common here, in fact I think this is the first time I'm seeing it, but with your thorough review and explanation, I must confess I'm dying to taste it.
You've come a long way catering for it till this point, and Harvesting for eating is definitely one of the best reward you can get for your efforts.
Have you ever grown hostas? Just tonight I found this out about them, From the shoots sprouting out of the ground up to the flowers, the entire hostas plant is edible. The most common part of the plant to eat is the early spring shoots. Consider it like you would asparagus spears and you are good to go. The large opened leaves of the hostas can also be eaten. I typed in are hostas edible to a google search. But it says they are toxic to dogs and cats.

That is probably it! You had just posted.

Hehe no worries...

Now that's true and I didn't really think about that. More freedom doesn't mean they won't tax the heck out of us!
Sauteed in butter... yum. Simple!
Yep, will write up a post about how we cooked them.. soon to come.
Can you dig your asparagus up and take it with you?
Good question.. though I will probably start over with new ones.
You actually worked for it and you can enjoy your asparagus. How I wish I could taste it too to see how it taste. Though I haven´t seen it yet.
Yep.. dug the trenches and waited three years for them to get big and strong.. now I can enjoy them.
I will do a follow up post on how I cook them.
@solominer felicidades se ve que van bien creciendo saludables los tallos, los esparrago tienen grandes propiedades y vitaminas y son Ricos.
Yeah they are quite nutritious, cant wait to have more to eat.

You should try some.. they are quite tasty. Best of luck finding some around you.
I hope so, cause I've not come across it before.

I have grown them but had no idea they are edible.. good to know I will look into that.
Yeah many plants are fine for humans but bad for dogs and cats.
That first year of waiting is so frustrating, isnt it?
Hehe yeah it was, my friends constantly wanted to try them but I had to remind them its important to wait until the plants are ready.
Gardening is indeed test of patience!
