Asparagus Fern


Charles was weeding the garden after the heavy rains of a couple of days ago (everything grew three inches overnight!), when I saw that he had cut away all the Asparagus Fern.  I was able to stop him on his way up the hill to the compost bin, and filled a large pottery pitcher with the feathery wands.  They are too soft for words!

Oh, I love asparagus ferns! I always buy one each spring and have it sitting on my porch, in my favorite wrought iron planter, with a copper spider pot sticker peeking out from the fronds.
