[AT] OT Redbud/asparagus

[Ronald L. Cook]

I don't have any redbuds, but we have been eating asparagus for a week. 
  You may be further north than we are.  Also we seem to be having an 
abnormally early spring.  The rebuds were in bloom around Council 
Bluffs, IA early last week.  I didn't know there was a connection. 
Hopefully I haven't messed up Mother Nature!!<g>  Mushroom hunting is 
getting started in the area I hear.  I don't like those, though.
