asparagus
It's late summer, and it's still producing. (To be fair, I didn't cut much of it earlier in the season, and it's having a jolly good go of it now...)
There are about six asparagus plants and so far as I recall, they've all been producing spears, which is excellent (there are male and female plants, and I think it's the males that produce the spears).
( asparagus ferns )
These asparagus have taken a few years to get to this stage - at least four years, only the last eighteen months here in this bed. But they're here now and here they will stay. Asparagus apparently produce regularly for up to twenty years, so there's hopefully at least a decade of asparagus headed our way...
