I started an asparagus bed this year as well. In a few years I’ll actually be able to eat.
I’ve got a couple of pear trees that produce good pears but I’ve got to cut them down because whoever planted them put them too close to my well pit. Thinking about replacing them with paw paws. (I’m a fan of natives)
I started an asparagus bed several years ago until I ran into my waterline.
I have 4 paw paw trees I’ve been babying and hopr to get fruit next year. The most wonderful thing I have ever tasted!
I’m curious to see if you have any luck with the pawpaws. I’ve tried growing them several times, but the ones I’ve ordered always die. They don’t transplant well.
