hey simple life and reinbeau I used to garden in Mass and built a rock wall from the stones I pulled out of my garden...I swear the pebbles grew over the winter into boulders...
I now live in an area that has NO boulders...but only a foot of soil then sand when I first started gardening here ...I had a lot of work to do to improve it especially for my asparagas and rhubarb

So from boulders to sand, you can't catch a break huh?

Aren't you up near Rochester? Lots of pine barrens around there, our house in Lebanon has the same kind of 'soil' - make that sand with a layer of duff on top!

As the shoots mature they get ferny. They're all the same plant.

here is a picture of ferny.. but they look nothing alike..
It will continue to "leaf out" from each of those branches in the first photo.
The second photo looks like asparagus fern, hard for me to see as the photo is a lil small. It is actually a type of lily and not edible. So named because of how the 2 plants look similar.

Ya'll have scared me. I love to eat asparagus and have them at least once a week but I don't know of perament place to plant them. My husband said they have to be planted by the existing veggie garden and not on another part of the property. So I will continue to buy at Publix and see how the first year of crop goes and then go from there I guess.
