Asparagus Fern

I've been admiring this fern for quite a while at my local Lowe's store, but they only offered a large size that seemed a little pricey to me.  Low and behold the other day I walked in and saw a smaller size at a great price!  I purchased 2, but hesitated planting them for a few days because just about every spot in my yard gets pretty intense sun throughout the day, and these little suckers are only suppose to get morning sun.  I finally decided on a spot that gets about 6 hours a day.  I was nervous that this would be too much, but so far (about 2 weeks) they are looking great.  I am making sure to water at least every other day to establish these little gems, and can't wait to see them grow.  If they are doing well at the end of the week, I think I will go buy a few more.  You can't beat the bright, light shade of green these will add to your garden, and the curious spiraling twisting branches add a bit of fun to any space.
