Howdy! Well, I keep hoping for better weather in College Station but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Monday and Wednesday it was still pretty sloppy and muddy due to all the rain. However, Friday was a great day with some much needed sunshine on the farm. We decided that while the ground was sopping wet it would be a good idea to get some much needed weeding done. I got to slip and slide a bit in the field plots but that just makes it more fun! I also got to work on weeding the Asparagus beds and getting them ready to be able to grow to their maximum potential! I have never grown Asparagus personally so it was interesting to see how they come back from previous years growth and get so big and bushy. The baby Asparagus are just now starting to poke their heads out from the soil so it shouldn't be anytime before they are something to feast your eyes upon. I did get some mud on me this week but in the end I got to have some fun and learn about some new vegetables and that is what it is really about out at the Howdy Farm! Learn, Learn and you guessed it, Learn even more!
