actually you can almost see it grow. What was just barely peeking
through the ground Tuesday is now 10" high and will be picked tomorrow.


Picked a few pounds - we ALL ate good tonight.

Did you ever try mounding the soil up around the shoots as they do in
Europe? Keeps them from getting green and makes for a different flavor.

Didn't realize that but maybe we'll try it around a few plants.
