Asparagus Berries P1020155

We spent a couple of hours picking blueberries at friend's property. He also has asparagus growing but it's all gone to seed.

Never seen or heard of these before Merrelyn, are they edible? Lovely pop of colour and DOF.

@ludwigsdiana The way that asparagus grows is really interesting. The spears into a fern like bush and the female plants have tiny flowers which develop into the red berries. Apparently the berries are poisonous but they can be germinated to start new plants if you can't get asparagus crowns.

Where are they growing it Merrelyn? Up in the hills? I’ve been talking asparagus with some 365 friends too...
