But they didn't grow well because I didn't have a trellis that was tall enough for them, hops like to grow to 25-30 feet. I ended up digging up the rhizomes and giving them to a friend of mine who has a trellis already set up to handle those kinds of heights.

I also have a raised bed of strawberries, 2 of raspberries and a few blueberry plants. Then I have a herb garden and a bunch of flowers in the front.
It is my favorite thing every year. Since we are in Wisconsin, I haven't really started to grow much yet. Just my asparagus and rhubarb so far. I'll get peas in this weekend!
asparagus! i've gotta look into that...
though i hate the attack of asparagus piss.
just DO NOT accidentally rub your eye! it burned viciously for about 40min.
wearing gloves reminds me not to do such, and i can throw them away after.
also, man, remember fresh is SO much spicier than the grocery.
(which rules)

Asparagus is actually kind of a pain to get started. I planted mine years ago and am just now able to eat some of it. Once it gets going though, it is super easy.
