It's Bedtime!

*
Time for a story. Once upon a time Old MacDaddy dug a big trench in his back yard, removed more dirt, roots, broken glass, bricks, and chunks of patio concrete than you could shake a stick at. Then he covered the bottom of the trench with manure (regrettably, not his own), then a very special blend of natural and store-bought soil, and dug little holes with a pointed stick to make new homes for 16 of his best asparagus friends (who had been living on the bottom shelf of his refrigerator for a month). Then he planted the asparagi, made cute little mounds of potting soil around them, and took a picture. Finally he fed them some nice fresh water. And that's how Farmer Daddy Brand Asparagus (TM) began its new life. The end. Now get back in bed and I don't wanna hear another peep outta ya!

  1. EXCEPT-- asparagus is green and these appear to be spun gold. You're cloning Beardy, aren't you

  4. Oil Can: I might as well be cloning spun gold. See below.

    59er: Just glanced at your blog and re-bookmarked it. Will definitely take a closer look, especially at the mother nature stuff. See below.
