Yes, I’ve had asparagus patches off and on so I’m patient. Hubby doesn’t like it so it’s alllll mine! It doesn’t grow wild in my part of Texas. However, I’ve been known to drive down back roads and pick mustang grapes (gloves are a MUST), prickly pear cactus and algerita berries for jelly.
I would drive down rural roads and if no house was near by dig up lily’s and other flowers growing wild. always had a shovel in my car....told one of my DIL’s and she did the same with tiger lily’s...Also checked out old homesteads for lilac’s growing and clip off a bouquet to take home or give to my daughter...waste not want not when it comes to flowers...:O)
