First Harvest of The Year- Asparagus

The asparagus is starting to pop up.  Here is the first harvest.

Frost

We may have frost over the next few days, so I was out there covering the cabbages, peas and lettuce with a frost blanket.

However, I just cut several asparagus spears for dinner this evening. The plan is to roast them. Photos to come soon.

TWD:Baking With Julia-Madeleines

 Katie and Amy Thisdell of Counter Dog are the hosts for this months TWD:BWJ recipe for Madeleines. Visit their blog to take a look at their creation and for the recipe.

This is a rather easy recipe to work with, but the only challenge I had was that it was difficult  getting the Madeleines out of the pan. I had never had that problem before. I used Pam spray on the Madeleine pans, but that was not helpful for easy removal. Otherwise they tasted great.

Top Hat Blueberry Bush

I purchased a top hat blueberry bush which can be planted in a large container. Our soil is not acidic and planting this bush in a container will make it easier to manage: making sure it maintains an acidic soil base. Plus I hope I can keep it away from the deer since it will be be located on our brick patio.
