Garden Asparagus
Asparagus officinalis
|
Asparagus is another garden plant that escapes to the wild and can persist for a long time. I have a patch growing out back that was there when we bought the place twenty years ago and it's still going strong. Once I tried to divide some plants out to give a friend and found watermelon-sized roots that practically took a backhoe to remove. I'm guessing those plants will be there long after we're gone.

| Asparagus has delicate little flowers that are barely noticeable in the spring |
 |
| The fresh shoots are a real treat in the springtime. I just pluck them and eat them raw right in the garden! |
 |
| The plants are large, about 4-5 feet tall, and feathery looking |
