did my asparagus just take over the garden or am i dreaming?

I walked out back and, no joke, my asparagus patch looked like it was auditioning for a jungle movie. Last year, I barely got a handful. This spring? Spears everywhere. Turns out, giving them a thick mulch blanket and not picking too early really pays off. I started snapping off the tall ones for dinner, but left a few to go wild. They turned into these crazy, feathery plants that make the whole garden look magical. If you’re thinking about growing asparagus, patience is key. Let those roots get comfy for a couple years, then let the spears do their thing. Now I’ve got enough for omelets, salads, and to share with the neighbors. Watching those green shoots pop up is the best part of my day. #gardening #asparagus #growyourown
