Wild Asparagus

This photo is from another source.

This morning, I went out asparagus picking for the first time this season.  It was cool and wet and I thought perhaps other pickers would not venture out.  I could tell someone was there before me but they missed some so it was a successful venture.  I probably got about 1-2 pounds worth.  I'll eat some fresh and freeze some too.  Dan loves asparagus too so I'll go out again when he's around to eat some.  It's a wild patch about 3 miles from here near an old cemetery.  I only picked once last spring and Shari was with me.  It was her first experience picking.  Spring of 2006 was the first I had ever picked.  I think it's a lot of fun!
