Stalking the Wild Asparagus

Can you see it? There is a patch on the lower left and one that Bozena walks in front of in the second photo.



This was literally on the side of a road, just outside of a farmers field. I had no idea how asparagus grew before this weekend. Apparently, if you don't pick it, it turns into a fern!  And it's from the lily family!  Who knew?

Also, a side note–foraging is so empowering!  One of my first experiences doing so and I am definitely going to capitalize on Bozena's expertise in the future...  Excited!
