Every year there are firsts that mark the passage of the year. First rhubarb, first buds opening, first flowers on the gooseberries, in the early summer there are the first broad beans ready to eat, later in the year the first sweet corn to take home, and at this time of year it is the asparagus spears. I have taken my first asparagus of the year today and look forward to eating it later.
