Gardening

If you grow from seeds, the first year they will be little whisps,
smaller around than a tooth pick.

Every year, they get a little larger.
The 3rd year, some will be thicker than a pencil,
and you can take some of those.


This is a photo of one of our older beds in the Spring,
and has examples of all different sizes.
In harvesting, you take the big fatties, and leave the others for next year.
In the above photo, we should have cut a couple the taller ones the previous day.

We have some Martha Washington that we planted from 2 year old crowns,
and were able to harvest a few this year.
Very tasty.
