IS this even a farm? Canesister's 2026

You are so lucky to have this "problem"

Wrap them in bacon and grill or bake them.

Grill baby grill !!! A little olive oil and salt --yum. Even just two.

This! Or even roast them in a pan until they are black and crispy!

I have found that thick ones from the grocery store are tough and stringy. I wonder if fresh from the garden would be better? I bend them to find the point where they snap crisply, then eat the crisp tips and throw away the rubbery bottom part. I used to give that part to the chickens, but mine don’t like asparagus. You could always compost it.

I've never eaten them raw before. Never even thought to try that.

Oops, I didn’t mean I eat them raw. I meant that’s the part I use. But it is something to consider. Although I doubt it would beat crispy roasted and salty!

I cut them into 1/2" pieces, sautéed in butter with some walking onion. Added chicken. Mixed into curly pasta with a creamy Alfred sauce & some black olives.

Little too much pasta. Kinda lost the asparagus in there. Still tasty though.
Will enjoy for work lunch the next couple of days.

I eat them raw! And the thicker ones are soooooo delish, whether from the grocery store or the 6 or 8 that I harvest from my corms. The thin ones are fibrous and they are the last of the stalk - the top few inches

Perhaps its the difference between west and east coast?

I too snap them off at the bottom where it gives. I then cut the really woody stuff off and give the dogs the rest of the snap. They love them.

If you snap them off in the garden and eat it right then, they're so fresh and juicy.

Someday I will grow some.

I had some in Lindale and the asparagus never made it in the house.
