A little taste of summer is returning to the Southside of Saint Louis today as the heat begins to rise just a bit.  It's summer.  It's expected. It is what it is.  Still nothing compared to what we have already experienced.  No worries from the old man.

I'm in year 2 of my Asparagus growing experiment.  They are looking like a big old mess right now, but I've been told to just continue to leave them alone again this year and by next year I should be able to harvest come June or thereabout.  They are just a jungle right now.  It takes all of my willpower not to cut everything to make it look tidy. Can't do it, not prudent! Patience is key right now. I wait. I sit on my hands and stare at the mess of it all dreaming of the beautiful, fresh Asparagus of 2023.

It's a Tower Grove Farmers' Market Thursday at Rockwell Brewing Company in Francis Park this Thursday. If you are out and about you should stop by.  It's a beautiful setting and you can enjoy a lovely beverage as you stroll through the marketplace.  

Another beautiful, if a bit warm, Thursday today.  Sunshine this morning gives way to partly cloudy skies this afternoon.  Winds will be out of the WSW at 5 to 10 MPH.  Perfect Farmers' Market weather to be sure! Be good and be kind to yourself today.  You deserve it and so much more.  Enjoy this Thursday Gardening Friends!
