Ever cook asparagus on the BBQ?

I do all the time. It's awesome.

Coat them with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Put em on the grill till they are just a little limp but still snap when you bend them.

Good times

I was told when ya plant them ya shouldnt pick them for the first four years. I would like to plant some hear too.

 

[Greenthorn]

We cooked them on the grill too. We use olive oil, sea salt, then wrap 3 sprigs with bacon and then add parmesan cheese, they are a meal itself.

 

[merc_man]

Man greenthorn that sounds foos too. Might have to try that tomorrow.

 

[Greenthorn]

We planted Jersey Giants, the package the roots came in said not to pick the first 2 years, we didn't, they still just never amounted to much, I think it's our soil? Not my pick, stolen from the web.



Look up bacon wrapped asparagus recipes on google.

I picked the first 5 sprouts of the season from the garden last night.

I threw them on the grill as I was grilling pork tenderloin so I had a nice snack.
