Well I bought my self a 40# bag of rock salt and spread half of it over my two rows of asparagus to keep the weeds out. An old farmer told me to do this years ago since asparagus is a sea-weed. It actually likes the salt. I've been doing this for 19 years and my plants still look good. I found that the purple asparagus is the best to grow. It has bigger stems and people think it looks nicer. We don't see the purple here in the grocery stores. And the green doesn't look like it's worth bringing home as wilted as it always is.

So when I put it on my supper plate it will look like I'm at a restaurant...LOL
I use to fill the baggie with water then freeze it but found that wasn't the way to go. It took too long to cook it to melt the ice and the asparagus was always soggy.
