Where I live, we have wild asparagus all around. Is this different than
cultivated asparagus? Can we just go out and dig it up and bring it to our
garden?


It transplants poorly because of a huge deep root system. Better to start
your own plants from seed and transplant the next year. The "wild" is the
same stuff, so cut it and enjoy!
