Ok, someone tell me where to plant asparagus!! Does it grow in semi shade? I have little sun, lots and lots of shade, and a little bit of semi shade. Asparagus would be really cool if I could grow that. (I think 6a or 5b zone, right on the border of the two.)

FF. My father grew Asparagus. I have not due to lack of room. My Mother did take us out in the countryside to pick wild asperagas along fence lines.

If you plant you should consider it a permanent planting in a spot where it will grow back every year. It does not like standing water or really wet soil

You will need a substantial amount of room and a spot that gets 6-8 hours of sun per year.

Thats the first thing to determine.
