I don't think it likes very wet feet.  Ours is in well drained soil (at the
bottom of one hill, but still on a slight slope, and it seems to like it
very much.  We always have way too much and let some grow up for the season.
Last year we even got berries, so they must be happy little aspergrass
plants!

I had my first aspargus Sunday.  But it looks like all the high water
in the pond last summer has wiped out most of it.  We planted flowers
and will move the vegetables to higher ground.  Can you imagine soil
being to wet for aspargus?  Isn't it a swamp critter?
