Grace That's my favorite, Asparagus soup, one time I had all this asparagus, and I was afraid it was going to spoil, so got out my cook books and found a good recipe, it was so good, now I make it at least a few time every year. I use my food processor to blend the asparagus after cooking it, I do let it cool a little before putting it in the processor. I am also afraid of burning myself, when pouring it in the processor, so I let it cool down some, the processor does a better job than the immersion blender, because I like the asparagus liquefied and blended, I chop off a little of the top of the cooked asparagus, and place that on the top of the soup when I serve it, I also like to serve it with oyster crackers, just my thing !! I think I am going to have to go buy some asparagus NOW, I want some soup !!!!! Our neighbor John across the street, built some growing boxes, to plant Vegetables in, he had some top soil delivered the other day, and now he's all ready to plant. I think my husband is jealous, he thinks of himself as the farmer in the neighborhood !!! They have one gallon Tomatoes plants on sale at Lowe's, but first we must empty the big planters we bought a few years ago, of the soil the tomatoes were in last year. we will put the used planting mix in a big pile on the side of the yard and use it for other plants, but not for tomatoes. I read a big article about how you never plant tomatoes in the same soil you did the year before, the roots of the tomatoes leave some little things in the ground that keeps the new plant from producing good tomatoes. So we always use new soil, or if you plant them in the ground, never plant them in the same place twice. I love to plant those cherry tomatoes, and when I am out watering, I eat them right off the plant, we never spray them with any chemicals, the only thing I do is go out early in the morning and look for those big tomato worms, remove them, they are so ugly !!

I didn't know you had tomato worms way out there in California.  I fight them almost every year.  Ruth On Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:37:09 -0400 (EDT), Sullyshirl73@aol.com wrote: Grace > That's my favorite, Asparagus soup, one time I had all this > asparagus, and I was afraid it was going to spoil, so got out my cook > books and found a good recipe, it was so good, now I make it at > least a few time every year.
