Ok thanks. I’m not sure any of my yard gets more than 6 hours of sun, on my entire property. Maybe next to the roses? I don’t think the HOA would go for that. I’ll keep my eye out for a small spot that might be unnoticed. Surely I can find 6 hours somewhere. I guess I was hoping that asparagus could grow in some shade.

Full sun, good drainage for asparagus. I have mine in a 4x8’ raised bed. I DEARLY miss my 40’ row of it at my other farm. That ALONE was worth the purchase price when I sold, LOL!

You could put it in with your roses. It would look very pretty with them when ‘fronded’ out, but anyone in your HOA that knows gardening would spot it. Just play dumb, LOL!

It also needs a good 3 years to be well established before you cut it, so time’s a-wastin’! ;)
