TIL what wild asparagus looks like
(midwest.social)
I was on a long walk yesterday and noticed this unfamiliar plant with red berries growing by an unkempt fence line. I snapped a picture to ID later and found out it's wild asparagus. Truly wild.
When I was a kid, my dad used to tell me to "go up by the fence line and find some asparagus." Him being my dad, I always thought he was just trying to play a joke on me, so I would just brush it off and go on my way.
It wasn't until I was a Full Ass Adult that I realized that the people walking by the farm fence along the highway nearby carrying grocery bags were ... going up by the fence line and finding some asparagus.
