Is it really so wrong to pick and eat raw asparagus shoots right out of the ground?
I don't think this qualifies as an RCP, but it sure is good.

What is this "ground" of which you speak? Does it resemble pavement?
Anyway, I do see the slimmest, trimmest asparagus in the stores now. Yum!

I've got to clear the asparagus patch soon, if the weather would ever cooperate...and it certainly isn;t wrong to pull one up and eat it.

When I moved here 31 years ago I remember having a conversation with a local winemaker about his annual morel hunt. I asked to join him and he said, and I quote, "Not a chance."
