I got 1-6-7-8-9- how did I do? Three is wrong, all fruits & vegatables, will reproduce on their own without human intervention If they don't then where did we get the seeds to plant or replant. IMO

[Doug Edwards]

The individual plant dies at the end of the season and has to be replanted. I got hung up on that too but reread the question. My wife sprung this on me (I guess she thinks I am a know it all) this morning before I had my second cup. I gaffed off most of them just to get to the end.

BTW, Asparagus will grow for up to 25 years and makes a beautiful landscaping addition, that you can eat off of.
