Scary Roots

Was planting these asparagus crowns on Tuesday night and couldn't help thinking they reminded me of something unpleasant. Well, just there, when I was looking at the photo again, it suddenly struck me they have a bit of a resemblance to the alien in Alien when it attaches itself to the guys face. Eeeck! Wondered why I didn't really feel comfortable planting them. Or maybe it was just cause I wasn't sure if I was doing it right.
