more gardening junk

I don't think we're going to be able to cram any more plants into any garden bed. Yesterday's addition of six more pots of okra and two more eggplants have pretty much eaten up any remaining space. I think that makes an even dozen pepper plants, about 20 okra, and four eggplants (two of which are struggling to survive). Now if only we can keep them all alive and someone's tiny hands away from them we should have a good harvest.

The asparagus crowns we planted are taking a very long time to sprout. Only five or six have put out shoots out of the 15-20 that we planted. I would have thought that 3-4 weeks to sprout is abnormal but I'll give them a little more time.
