Beautiful! I'm still waiting for my asparagus bed to wake up.
Are you happy with the woodchip mulch? I had some woody compost I mulched my bed with last year, but haven't decided how I'll mulch this year.

I used very large chips we had left over from clearing a portion of our property a few years ago. That worked well and I was glad that it lasted for three years without major decomposition. Seemed reasonably good at deterring weeds too, except at the edge of the bed. I topped it off with smaller chips this spring.
