Aspergers officinalis

This post did not contain any content.
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

And here I always thought they grew like tiny cabbages
Wait until you hear how closely related they are to cabbages

I raise you brussels sprouts:
You could have given me a million guesses and I wouldn't have arrived at that!

never really thought about it
I’m a breastparagus man myself
Dad that's gross, geez!

I'll see your Brussels Sprouts, and raise you Cashews:

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.
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?

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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

Fuck. Im in a hot area but not zone 10-12 hot.

First time I saw them I felt like someone was playing a massive prank on me… in a random supermarket, by putting clearly alien veggies in the veggie section

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.
The greenhouses around me sell matured asparagus roots. Don't have to wait this way.

Well it takes 2 years to grow, but the harvest is in the 3rd year, at least when I've done it. It's a perennial with minimal maintenance aside from weeding & water

Damn. You beat me to it.

They're not great. But you can make decent jam from them.

Uh… you’re welcome?

Maybe a greenhouse would work?
