It grew wild in the ditches in rural Ohio when I was a boy we used to pick it. Wild strawberries as well. Not sure how or who started it.

We did the same thing in Iowa. I think that there was some strange little man who wore a sauce pan on his head who went by the name "Johnny Asparagusroot" who traveled the country planting the stuff back as the country moved west.

We started seeds, late winter before last, planted last spring, might be able to harvest this year, but definitely next year.


We planted a bed in 2001 using crowns.
2 Jersey varieties, purple, and Martha Washington.
80 plants in a 2 row 80' bed.

It's starting to seriously decline. The Jersey's are all male and dont reproduce. The Martha W. hasn't really thrived.

We used to pick it every 2-3 days and 3/4 fill a Wal-Mart bag, now a good
picking gets 2-3 pounds.

Hate it canned, don't like it froze, we used to give away piles of it.
Now, we have folks asking, and not much to share. From late April to
June, we all have the stinky pee!

Been cutting out of our patch last couple weeks. Love it sautéed in olive oil, grilled with olive oil and Greek seasoning, casserole with cheese and cracker crumbs. I love the mushy canned scheit too.
