The message

these words:

Having recently moved here (South Ayrshire) I have inherited what I
think is an asparagus plant in a deep bed in the greenhouse. I have
never grown this before and don't even know what they are supposed to
look like. When we arrived in the autumn it had bamboo like shoots
topped with fine ferny growth. I cut it down to about 5 inches and
now it is sprouting little ferns on the shoots. Is this real
asparagus? Is asparagus fern something different? Should I be doing
anything to it? Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like it could be Asparagus, but why you would grow 1 plant in a
greenhouse is beyond me. I`d cut the whole shoot down to below ground
level and see what comes back. If it looks like Asparagus from the shop
then thats what you have.
