Seeing your asparagus crowns reminds me that I need to sort out my asparagus patch. It needs a little weeding. I've got 7 crowns which is enough for the 3 of us.

Happy weeding! Good to know that 7 crowns are enough for three of you. I think we will plant a whole row, maybe 15 crowns and that should feed us and family.

@@ThreeBarrowFarm We don't eat asparagus that often and our crowns are over 10 years old. I'm spoilt with the freshness of homegrown and can no longer buy store bought asparagus

What breed of sheep do you raise? 🥰

We have Wiltipoll’s which are meat sheep. They drop their fleece in summer, so no shearing needed.

@@ThreeBarrowFarm Oh nice! I’m not on property yet but I always thought I’d get dorper. Same concept, no shearing, often dropping twins and hardy. How do you find their resistance re worms, etc?

Getting a breed that doesn’t need shearing is a good way of keeping external parasites down as their fleece isn’t as long. We usually move the sheep around often and this has helped keep the worm count down. Also natural ways such as apple cider vinegar. They stay super healthy when moved around. Dorpers don’t have as nice tasting meat as other meat sheep, so just keep that in mind. We’ve been told Wiltipoll is one of the best tasting. Hope this all helps.
