Growing Asparagus

I have tried both in Vermont and Massachucetts to grow asparagus. All I have ever gotten are a few spindly spears that become less and less each year.

Today, I went for a walk instead of running and I found asparagus growing on the side of the road! Big fat spears were poking up through gravel and litter in a ditch.

Maybe I should plant some in whatever part of the yard is the most rocky and desolate. Then, follow-up by neither weeding nor watering

Bumper crop to come!
