Most of my pickled veggies use a similar recipe. A garlic clove, a hot
pepper, a head of dill, some pickling spice if I have it and of course
vinegar and salt. The asparagus was given to me; it's a bit late in the
year for it and it's tough. I haven't grown it but might take the
offered seeds and start a patch.
I know, most asparagus patches are planted from crowns. You only lose a
year if started from seed. I need to decide where to put the nursery.
After the first season you need to transplant them to a permanent bed
which I think is going to be in the pasture along with a corn patch and
maybe even next year's potatoes.

Is this a straight vinegar and salt pickle or something else?
(Like I ever have enough asparagus to pickle-I'm lucky if I get to the
house with it!) But it sounds intriguing...
