Huh. So maybe what I bought is one of the less-productive hybrid strains? First time I've ever grown asparagus so I'm not sure what optimum production should be. The Jersey Giant started producing spears first...have been getting enough for one or two hefty servings about every three days, from six plants. The six Mary Washingtons are just starting to produce spears...I'm seeing lots of little tips poking up!

I'll pay better attention later this summer. I thought all the ferns had berries but l could be wrong about that.

Wild Columbine was looking really nice today! The sun was out, so it made the lighting better than my previous shot.

A rainbow started to form the other day but it only rained for three minutes. That's the only rain we've had for almost a month! Today it's 75 degrees and getting too hot to be working in the sun.

Hey! I love love love my garden but I'm fairly new on here - so hello everyone! I'm Alexa nice to meet you all I spotted Mr Plant Geek on This Morning yesterday - what a guy! So I started following him on Twitter right after and I stumbled across this him tweeting about this (what a hashtag!) - http://www.sgs-engineering.com/help-advice/britains-best-bush/ - definitely considering entering some of my topiary into it haha! Did anyone else spot him on there, and has anyone else done it? Just want to know what my competition will be like?

Is that purple flower a wild onion? It looks very similar to a lovely wild onion I just transplanted for my inlaws, except theirs is pink.
