Asparagus does well and I found out from another guy in town that has a large patch. We ordered the roots from Gurney and it took two years for them to really get going. They poke outa the ground as asparagus spears and if ya dont pick them they grow to asparagus ferns. Ya hafta let some become ferns thats what keeps the roots going. We have ours in full sun is a 4x4 box and they do fine. ya cut them back to the ground when they turn brown in the fall and they grow up again in the spring. If ya type asparagus in to the search on our blog you will see the ferns are quite pretty. and ya may need a bigger patch if ya like them. few of ours ever make it into the house they get picked and ate raw by Peggy comin and goin from the mail box
