This morning I noticed a few bright red (beautiful) berries on some

That means you have some girl asparagii, and they're with child.


Oh no! I didn't know things like that went on in our garden :-)

You can smush the ripe berries and wash the black seeds inside to plant if
you want to produce more plants.


I don't, but thanks for the tip. There's no more room in my small asparagus
bed, if anything it's already overcrowded.
