Re: asparagus
I planted 3 plants last spring, on one side of a 4 x 6 bed. They spread out
quite a bit and had some pretty red beries in the fall. I have the idea
that it takes a couple years until the eating stage. This may turn in to an
asparagus bed! Actually, I had fennel and peppers in there too.
