WHAT ARE THOSE?!?


I just moved into a new house in January. Was out planting hostas a coworker gave me when I found these. I know next to nothing about anything greenery related, so any and all information would be greatly appreciated, please and thank you!!!

    It takes time to establish a bed of asparagus— you’re lucky!!

    Cut it now. Peel off the tough skin near the bottom. Toss in skillet with butter, salt and pepper.

    I’m trying to wrap my head around someone not knowing this is asparagus, but failing

    You can “bleach” them by throwing a bucket over them. They’re a Dutch delicatcy

    Asparagus grows like someone’s trying to pull a prank on you

    We are still harvesting a bed I planted with my father in 1973. Taken care of they can continue for a long time!

    Tell me you don’t eat vegetables without telling me you don’t eat vegetables

    But in your defense I don’t think anyone expects asparagus to grow this weirdly far apart until they actually see it.

    Whaaaat??? My asparagus is on its 4th year in my garden and looks nothing like these beauties! Eat them up! Sautee in olive oil and garlic. Yum!

    Wow, it takes years to establish edible asparagus and you just rolled up on it? Mulch that area, care for your expensive and delicious new friend.

    What’s amazing is how many people out there are this amazingly unaware.

    don’t let it get to big, it gets woody/ stringy. makes it kind of a pain to eat. this being said, the tall one in the pic is all the bigger you want it to get. Then when your done eating it for the season you just let it grow. next spring boom here it is again

    I’m so jealous 🙁 I wish these would pop up in my garden unexpectedly. They should pop up every season and can last up to 10-20 years

    Theyre pee sticks. Eat em and you piss aroma.

    I planted one plant last year and was worried that I killed it..I found some surprise asparagus growing!

  31. kingPrinceLOL

    …. asparagus????? Lol i didnt know they just grew like little trees….

  33. ChickenChemical6784

    I would harvest now. Just trim at the base. It’s a perrinial and will grow back year after year. Lucky you!

    Remove the grass around them, or replant them into their own space. Asparagus doesn’t like competition.

  36. mickeltee

    As we said when I was little, asper-grass.

    Asparagus grows like someone trying to prank you into thinking it grows like that
