Added more Asparagus to the garden

Two weeks ago I roto-tilled my parents' garden for them.  My mom was done trying to get asparagus to grow, wanted to get rid of her crowns, and wanted the entire garden done.

I salvaged the crowns and put them in contractor bags and brought them back here.  Over the last two weeks I kept the bags open and allowed them to get the moisture from the various rain storms we've had.  Having the bags open also dissipated heat so we wouldn't end up cooking the roots.

Yesterday I dug out small segments and supplemented what we already had with the crowns.  I added maybe 8 or so to the existing two asparagus boxes. 

No pictures; dealing with the crowns in the bags was really muddy work.
