That's what I'm talking about, maybe I didn't read about it maybe
I saw it.  Hmmm that's no bargain if you don't plant it. 
But I won't talk I saw some asparagus roots at Wal Mart and
bought them.....I have no idea what to do with them now.  I know
asparagus doesn't do well in FLorida.  I also know I it gets
about 5 feet tall between seasons. So I have nowhere to put it
that it will be in the sun without shading the rest of the
garden.  So they've been sitting in a bag on the table for 2
weeks now.

Oh that sounds pretty. I guess I need to look at it again. I've
been trying to grow flowers in containers. I have a bunch of
those herb pots and been growing them in those. They seem to do a
lot better than when I planted them in the ground.
