In spite of my somewhat over-zealous&nbsp;<a href=”http://www.grit.com/tools/dr-roto-hog-tiller-get-your-garden-going.aspx”>tilling exercise</a>&nbsp;from a couple of weeks ago, thankfully I avoided wiping out my asparagus patch. I got to day dreaming a bit and forgot about the growing asparagus patch a couple of times and just tilled right on top of it — oops. Luckily the growing asparagus crowns were smarter than I am and hadn&rsquo;t sent the first probing spears close enough to the surface for me to grind into oblivion. I love growing asparagus. I enjoy the way it stakes a wild claim along the fencerows and I love that it performs year after year in my garden. I especially dig that asparagus is the first meaty vegetable crop of spring.</p>
