Well, property lines. I've heard it grows wild here but I've never seen it in my area. I'm about 40 miles north of Denver, about 40 miles east of the Front Range. We don't have a lot of irrigation ditches on publicly accessible land. But I think I'll keep looking. Free wild asparagus is sounding more attractive than planting some right about now!
