Our day of rest ended up being a long day of asparagus planting. We planted about 5000 asparagus plants. We used an old cultivator setup with new sweeps to make the furrows. We started a little before 8 this morning and finished up at 4 this afternoon. The furrows needed to be cleared on each row which made for some tiring work but it's good to have it in. The cousins from northern Dickinson county pitched in to get the asparagus planted. Now only time will tell if we get a crop. If everything comes up we'll be able to take the first harvest in about 3 years.
