asparagus

we have second year asparagus flourishing in the garden already ( top photo )...but bits and pieces of the perennial garden project ( and, by extension, kathy forgey ) keep germinating in the bed of my truck ( second photo )...when i transplanted the asparagus from my truck last season it shocked so badly i thought it had died...it turned out to be far more resilient than i gave it credit for and thus emboldened i decided to transplant it to the same bed with the rest of the asparagus ( third though sixth photos ) along with a few seeds just in case...if the drainage is good enough and we treat these plants correctly the will be ready to begin being harvested in 2018 and will go on until around 2043 if we find good garden stewards...here's hoping...we will be looking while we hope.
