Oh wish I had fresh asparagus. Tried growing it twice. ended up digging it up after 5 years of next to nothing.Some people I have as neighbors both have it growing and they mow it over. Won't let anyone come and cut it to eat. Such a shame. You'd think they would cut it and sell it. It's very expensive in the stores. Sometimes when a swap is sent early I forget I got that months already and have to recheck too.
