[Magdalen] weather + garden

[Sibyl Smirl]

Even if I regarded them as a problem (I don't), they'd never be a 
problem here.  They come up here and there, but I never get a mass of 
them.  And I'd never have enough for a "mess of greens", without killing 
every plant I could find, taking the whole thing.  What I do with eating 
them is graze on them, raw, while I'm working in the yard anyway, 
pinching off one leaf here and another there, because I _don't_ want to 
kill the plants.  Dan would need to take the whole plant at the crown 
and cook them, to get them out of his asparagus, but at least he 
wouldn't be wasting them.  Personally, I'd just let them co-exist, since 
Asparagus is a tall plant and violets are short.  But it's his asparagus 
bed, not mine.
