Scottish Wildflowers

I'm going to try asparagus! Hmmm, rosemary and asparagus. Sound like a great lamb dinner coming up soon!

I suggest looking up instructions on line from your local university or county agriculture extension. There's a bit you would need to know about planting and cultivating asparagus, but it can be a very interesting garden plant that also provides dinner items. My grandmother had several in her flower bed.
Good luck.

Quite remarkable what will grow where, isn't it? I have a cousin who, on the high south bank of the Tay in north Fife has a ten-foot high hedge of that Mediterranean herb, rosemary, and my wife's grandfather had a large plot devoted to aspargus -- in the Swiss Alps.

Good idea about researching with the county extension office. All I know about growing asparagus it that it's grown standing up!

Here's a link to an OSU extension asparagus article to get you started:

There should also be Master Gardeners and experts associated with them of whom you may ask questions.

Good luck.

Oregon coastal plants: Oregon grape, ice plant, heaths of all kinds, yews, rhododendrons, foxglove, madrone, manzanita ... but I'm guessing based on memories of the west coast. Some of the loveliest wildflowers I've seen anywhere were along the northern California coast in Spring.
