I agree with the other commenters -- more pictures, please! I've put in an asparagus patch as my grand experiment, and they've started to come up and fern out, feeding the roots for next year.

I've tried two or three times to keep a single clump going in my Zone 9 backyard, to no avail. The flowers curl up and take the rest of the plant with it as it dies back.

I've got some fantastic plant and flower cardstock models I've built, though. Occasionally some moron tries to mist them and I have to rebuild. <BR/><BR/>More pictures! Can we see some ferns?D.
