Won't get in very much since there's just not time but will get in some... starting today. Hopefully will get everything in and be able to get the newspaper and mulch down this weekend. Then get the tomato cages up and anchored. FYI... Not sure the cost there Will but I just picked up some really nice mushroom compost for $21.95 a yard.

So far tho, everything is sprouting fine that shes planted to date. Thanks Dave,

I do have a suggestion for you to consider. It looks like, from the pics, you have a lot of clay in your garden soil. Don't know when you till but consider getting a load of mushroom compost before you do. Spread it out across the plot then till. Makes a big difference.

My bed is small about 4x6 foot. It's getting close to 15 yrs old so it's time to replant. But I was picking it 2-3 times a day. I can't get to my garden yet. Ducks still swimming back there. Doing okay. Yeah, WPW has been a bit... odd of late. Dave Once mature (3 years) you should get about 20 spears per crown. My bed is small about 4×6 foot.
