      Bunched together or with leaves around them was my assumption, not individually like someone just bought some and stuck them in the ground.

      Didn't know we harvested them as baby plants.

      Oh no that’s not even them as babies. That’s like two years in.

      This is baby asparagus. It takes forever to develop to actual asperagus stage.

          4 years isn't it? I looked into it back in the 90s, decided hell no. LOL, it was suggested to dig a 4' deep trench to plant them.

            That’s probably right. I think they become recognizable as asperagus around 2 years in. We had some, about two years in when were in a mobile home park. Swapped owners so they hired new lawn keepers… who fucking killed them right when they were almost harvestable god I was so mad.

                  So someone bought asparagus from the market, stuck it in the ground, took a picture, and it's indistinguishable from the real thing?

                  Otherwise it's surely not a shitpost

                    Wait until you hear how closely related they are to cabbages

                            It's extremely low maintenance once it establishes though which is nice.

                                I've seen markets sell brussels sprouts on the stalk but I didn't know it had leaves.

                                I figured the leaves were the brussels sprouts,

                                Thanks for the info.

                                  On another branch of that family tree, those leaves are kale.

                                    Aren't the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn't. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?

                                      They’re called cashew apples. You can find them at asian and latin grocery stores sometimes. Never had one, but i hear they are tasty, they’re hard to transport, though, so you have to be in the right areas to find them.

                                        I'm sorry, I'm still in awe that anyone would hear that asparagus needs two years to grow enough for a viable harvest and still think it's worth doing
