YES! YES! YES! The wild asparagus are back!
I wrote about them last year, when I got at least 40 or so spears of asparagus that keep coming up under my crepe myrtle. Saturday there was nothing there. Today. I found four spears in various lengths.
One white one buried in mulch. It will turn green as it emerges. Two more deep in the mulch although one looks a little ragged like something decided to chew on it. Maybe the bunnies.
Today’s rain was welcome as it is nourishing my garlic, my herbs, my greens and these wild plants. Oh, and the tulips. I am lucky that the animals ignore them. I guess having a yard with clover, dandelions, chick weed and whatever else out there keeps them happy and away from my flowers. As I have said often, I am loving spring time.\

Wild asparagus! How lucky you are. My babies are also providing a handful (5-8 a day) of tasty goodness from my community garden plot. Unfortunately, or not, they don’t seem to make it home. Makes for a healthy snack on the short ride home.
Such a wonderful little surprise, and great shots of them as well. I hope to get out foraging this year. It’s handy that it’s happening in your backyard!
