Dr took pictures of the asparagus in the garden on Friday. I think the golden color and lacy branches are beautiful. Maybe more so in real life. Dooley

Thanks! I was having trouble with Adobe and Photobucket. Getting them to load all three pictures. I think I'm having trouble with my firewall. I'll have to have Dan look at it. Dooley

No, it's spring asparagus that you don't cut. It spreads. I started with two plants and this past spring we had almost 20. You quit cutting it and the top absorbs the sun all summer and feeds the roots. Next spring I should have about double the amount. It's just that it's turns this golden color in fall. I almost would grow it for the lacy leaves and fall color. Dooley

I would grow it in my garden Dooley just because it's soooo beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to let us share your burst of colour with you. Very Happy

It needs a close up of the lacy leaves. It looks much better in a larger picture. Dooley
