I find plants from the upper Midwest. An avid gardener. Scavenger. Love to grow flowers, cucurbits, and all kinds. Zone 5a. I'm on Flickr.

Garden is producing juicy, tender and perfect, not bitter shoots. Asparagus loves it here up north.

@onceuponamarigold24 I attempted to plant some crowns last year. I'm still waiting. Nothing yet 😕 I also just started some from seed and potted them up. I really want some #asparagus 😁 It takes forever 🙄

@Dragon_Warrior yes, it can take years to get a large crop. You have to plant double what you think might survive too. Starting from seed can be rough so applause.
