Life cycle of an asparagus plant: A feathery fern flowers, it shows its bright yellow reproduction parts to some bees, it gets pollinated, a seed develops, the seed matures, it falls, young plants emerge, you wait 100 years, you get asparagus. You can buy year-old bare root plants — those take 3 or 4 years to mature and bear thick asparagus stalks. Repeat annually. #asparagusseason #howtogrowasparagus
