  Hi Marilyn, if you don't opt for the railroad tracks (:-)), pick an
  area with a bit of afternoon shade (yes, I know they take full sun in
  northern climes), and mulch heavily with seaweed after planting the
  roots. (Deep, BTW, unless you hit water!) Asparagus thrives near
  seashores, just beyond the sand, because it can stand a bit of salt.
  (Beets, too.)  Asparagus will stand a lot of things, but not heavy
  weed competition, too much heat and bugs, and being drowned. Mulch
  will help with 3 out of 4; so do try it. :-)
