Asparagus maintenance and strawberry report

This morning, I filled the asparagus beds with more Bumper Crop and weeded. All twenty-five asparagus roots have now put up green shoots, most are in the fern stage. There are two strawberries that look completely ripe.

I have seen many suggest that strawberries should not be allowed to flower the year they are planted in order to promote abundant harvest the following year, however we are receiving an abundant crop this first year, as many as 10 berries per plant (10x52 ~ 500 strawberries in a 4'x 4' frame).
