Spargelzeit! Yes.

7. When I was growing up in rural KY, it was often growing wild along the roadside

If you drove around in late May, the tall seed blossoms would be highly visible and you could take note of the spot and return the next spring. A patch can be harvested several times before it gets too tough to bother with. Just cut the stalk close to the ground, and come back in a few days.

Sadly, farmers started plowing up to the edge of the road and the patches gradually disappeared. It sure was fun to go out stalking the wild asparagus though.

If you want it in your home garden, it takes 2 years to get to harvest IF you have 2 year old plants. It spreads around underground and gets bigger every year.
