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.

You could pass it on to your neighbours maybe?
we've got a neighbour who never refuses any plants including a ripped
up apple tree someone left in an alley and she nursed it back to
health.

I wish our neighbours were like that!

They either prefer to do no gardening at all or grow flowers. Next door's do
grow pears, runner beans, onions, tomatoes and something I've forgotten but
they never eat them. And they don't give them away either, just leave them
to rot.

There's nowt so queer as folks!
