Growing on the High Plains: Asparagus, Part One

We can all feel it. The weather has been warming,  blossoms have been peeking up from the prairie groundcover, and the green buds on the trees have been rubbing their eyes in the sunshine. Today's Growing on the High Plians will feature one of my favorite spring vegetables. Asparagus, thankfully, fares well in our dry climate, so tune in for some tips to optimize your harvest. First timerrs will have a to invest a little extra time getting the plants settled, and some finessing can be required to keep them producing. But it will all be worth it when those fat, juicy spears crop up and grace your spring table. (Don't miss part two next week!)
