Asparagus

I saw one.  Jeff saw it first.  Among the trailing grape hyacinth foliage, between the brown branches of last year's fava crop and the soggy sticks which used, themselves, to be asparagus, yellow fronds ten feet tall...

A new soul.

I want to say, hooray, not later than last year, at least!  And, we'll cut them this year for sure -
but what do you do with eight asparagus?
