One of my asparagus plants from last year's planting is up w-a-y ahead of any of the others. Purple! I am putting in another row of them right beside this, and enjoying it just as much as I did last year. Not at all, yes.
There is about 4 inches/ 10 cm of decent soil, here, a layer of heavy clay under that, and tons of rocks. All the other rocks I found today were small or moderate, but this one was big, incredibly heavy, and right-smack in my way. It took close to a third of the time I spent gardening today just to deal with this one rock.
I filled the trench partway back in with the better soil, some sand, and a big load of last fall's dead leaves. If life doesn't give you sandy loam, CHEAT!
I also have three big holes dug at the lower end of the asparagus, where there is too much shade from the woodshed. I'm going to plant sweet potatoes there, and hope that the vines run toward the sun and make a nice weed-suppressing layer amongst the mature asparagus stalks. A vertical plant, a spreading, low-growing plant, we'll see if it all works out.
Wet clay. So heavy. It's only fun if you want to take a wet handful and squish up a little paleolithic-style bear figurine.
The peas, radishes, and other cool-tolerant crops are looking hopeful. This will be the first garden since my husband's retirement last fall. He's enjoying it. Will any of the peas actually make it into the house? Ha. Haha.

It's just very important to me that you know prairie-style gardens exist.
Ok. Thank you. Carry on.

So, this is cool:
We need to convince more municipalities to plant more trees. I would suggest looking into trees that are more heat and drought tolerant (oaks, not western red cedar, for an example) & also those that grow more quickly. Planting on the west and south (or north, if you're in the Southern hemisphere) of a building matters the most for heat reduction.
If you want to get into it, I'd suggest finding your Köppen climate classification, and then finding either native trees that can thrive in a hotter-but-otherwise-similar climate than yours, or trees from such a climate. For example, I'm in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate so I'm looking at plants from Hot-summer Mediterranean climates that are hardy enough to still survive our winters (oaks, I'm looking at oaks. Fortunately, one species extends from here to down there, so that's easy).
I wouldn't usually advocate for non-native plants, but I'm seeing the climate change quickly enough that I think maybe humans should help with the pole-wards migration of plants.

One of my favorite things about gardening is other gardeners. There's just such an urge to share plants, seeds and cuttings. Such a freeness with sharing information and ASKING for information. I can't wait for my front yard to stop looking like crap so I have little old ladies stopping by to ask me what kind of plant such-and-such is and does it attract many butterflies? And would I like some spare hostas? Are those blueberries there? What kind are those? Good for jam?
MN is not known for it's front porch culture but if you sit there and have a garden you will attract gardeners eventually, no matter how chaotic your garden is. I miss that from the old house, but I'll get there eventually.

Daffodils
White daffodils with colored cups, my beloved. We have
yellow, butter-yellow, pink, peach, orange, and 'it's complicated'.
The daff on the left is what I consider an attractive double flower. The one on the right . . hmm. Congrats, little buddy, . .

The meal I’ve been waiting for the whole year! Well, I always make this spaghetti, but not with stuff from my own garden! Today, I finally had enough ripe and semi-ripened cherry tomatoes to make a serving. I also used one of my garlic heads, which, by the way, are curing nicely. I even managed to pull oregano, thyme, and a bit of basil. Sadly, the onions are not yet ready, so I used a store-bought one. The basil that I managed to harvest is not enough, so I had to use dried basil from the shelf. It’s such an easy, quick, and wholesome lunch. I think my non-existing Italian ancestors would approve.
