[AT] OT Redbud/asparagus

[Larry D. Goss]

Don't let the Germans find out you're breaking those "precious" stalks
off by hand -- You'll cause an International incident.  Of course, they
don't understand why anyone would want to grow green asparagus in the
first place.

BTW, asparagus berries are excellent fish bait.

We cut it off with a knife just below the surface of the ground.
