I am amazed at what little attention they need and the ferns are amazing till they flop over. I have found asparagus sprouting all over my garden, presumably self sown from the berries or maybe the birds have helped. A very low maintenance plant definitely, at least from my experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905020164769434652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-72540093661610791062011-06-23T10:14:12.538+01:002011-06-23T10:14:12.538+01:00WE use the fern in with cut flowers.

They are rather hard to spot (you have to have a 'trained eye'). They are considered a delicacy and are rather expensive.

It's from the asparagus berries that the birds eat. The birds eat, rest on the wire, mother nature calls, and then later you get a nice plant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-74297279589354173242011-06-21T21:26:16.405+01:002011-06-21T21:26:16.405+01:00Fascinating cycle.

Still, I'd like to find a little space some day... the foliage is so striking later in the season too.
