Me too! No asparagus to harvest (Mary Washington), still too young, so I'll wait till next year. But the rhubarb is superbarb. The heirloom tomatos are in the ground- Brandywines and zebras. And I just picked up some blooming regent serviceberry plants. Now if I can only get the berries before the birds do.

I put two varieties (purple passion and supermale) in the ground this spring, so I won't harvest for 2-3 years. The old German lady we're hatching goslings for has been harvesting from the same patch for something like 25 years so I'd say its worth the investment. What do you use to protect your tomatoes? Mine are still in flats. We got 2 inches of snow Sat night and a hard freeze last night, I had to cover the peas and put mason jars on the potatoes brrr...

Something to warm up with... Theres this slide guitarist named, believe it or not, Roy Rogers... He plays high energy blues and you can tell there is absolute joy there. He has played with Bonnie Raitt (yah!) John Lee Hooker (all right!) and Keith Richards (shoulda retired). His album is Slideways and was actually recorded by EMusic so I assume its an internet only deal.
