Signs of spring

[BeanMan]

One of the best things about spring in Western Colorado: Wild Asparagus. The Purple Passion is from my garden and might give some men a case of envy

Add some morels on top of an elk steak and MMMMmmm good, a meal fit for a king.

Mine are just coming up. I have some of the red also. Good stuff.

Nice looking stinky pee there Beanman, I had a batch just the other day, with lemon juice and olive oil, baked and then sprinkled with Parmesan. Grandma always called it stinky pee. Your right I have "Purple Envy"

We fired up the pig roaster/smoker and did a pile of pork ribs to have with the asparagus too1.

Wild Asparagus? Serious? I'd love to get in on some of that! Does it just grow in the right habitat or did it have to be introduced at one time and then comes volunteer? Maybe/surely i don't know what to look for.

Asparagus and Best Foods mayo is the bomb! To each their own but IMO, any other way kinda wrecks it.

It just grows along fencelines and ditches in early spring here in CO. Anywhere where birds sit and poop the seeds out it will grow. Theres no comparison between the store bought stuff and wild, fresh picked. I can just eat it raw its so good.

I can go out and pick a 5 gallon bucket of it in a 100 yard stretch here in So. Idaho. It grows everywhere here. For me if it gets more than 4 inches tall its just not good. The little white ones are hands down the best. I feel sorry for the drug testing people who have to open up one of them bottles around here in the spring. Definitely "stinky pee".

Probably more like 'feral' asparagus. I grew up hunting it with a passion in the Front Range east of Fort Collins every day after school. I've got about a half mile of fence line that I've been nurturing for the last 25 years over here. It feeds me well.

Aww! Makes me think of Mom. She use to take us kids down around the river and have us harvest the wild asparagus for supper. RIP Mom.

This looks super yummy! Gotta get me some.
