Thanks bud. I knew that I too needed asparagus in my life haha
Takes some dedication to get them started, I was lucky to be able to hit the fast forward button by moving into a home that had two patches already. I have seen places here that sell them a couple years old, which cost more obviously, or they wouldn't do it that way, but gives you a bit of a head start. If I recall correctly you are very limited by growing space though, yes?
That's awesome. Asparagus is one of our staples here, I'd be over the moon to have a bed or 2.
Very limited is an understatement. We are in a tiny apartment in the middle of DFW with awful commie landlords. Not really allowed to be growing here, though my anarchist instincts and free will tendencies are threatening to bust loose lol..
Currently looking and saving for some land but it seems more likely that we will have to start with a starter home and build some equity before we can into what we really want.
Hey yeah, i would think that there's area for some gorilla gardening around you?
Are there more difficult rules there to get land than a home in the city? That's how it is here for sure..
Yes and no. You have to understand the zoning rules as to what you are able to do on the land but once you get into county land, your options are near limitless. It just tends to be cheaper in suburbia. And we are not the most affluent of folks.
Similar rules to hear. We don't own where we live now, the spot we are at is perfect for right now though. I can't fire a long gun anywhere on my property (and handguns are for the range only) and we aren't supposed to keep any livestock. I intend to take all of those boundaries as suggestions more than rules.
As far as gorilla gardening goes, it's pretty straightforward. You just take the head off, stick it in the ground, and wham - Gorilla tree.
Pardon my lame humor.
The idea is that you take public land, or unused land and purpose it to grow discrete plants that you can go and harvest. For example, my dear wife and I went for a walk some time back and found that people had planted rhubarb bushes in some of the treed area. Their placement was smart, and it looked quite nice where they placed it, so nobody messed with it. We have beans that are my favorite called "runner" beans or "painted ladies improved" They grow a pretty little flower that tastes like half pea/bean. So people wouldn't pick flowers while walking down a path typically right? But you do, because you know what they are, because you put them there. And anything that you don't eat as a flower comes out as a nice silky green bean. The possibilities are quite endless, with a bit of imagination! There are books on this I know for sure. Not that i've read any of them. haha

Gorilla gardening? Que es esto? What is this?
Yes and no. You have to understand the zoning rules as to what you are able to do on the land but once you get into county land, your options are near limitless. It just tends to be cheaper in suburbia. And we are not the most affluent of folks.
