Asparagus, Garlic, Artichoke

On December 15th I spent a couple of hours in the garden pruning down the asparagus, adding some nutrient mix, and topping it with straw mulch.  Also added straw mulch to the garlic bed and the last surviving. artichoke.

The asparagus beds are a mix of varieties.  The upper bed was planted a view years before the lower bed and has a variety that produces some very large spears.

The garlic bed was planted in late Oct. 2022 after the first light frost. Photo ( Dec. 15th) shows garlic shoots just coming up. I will now mulch. with straw.
