There are lots of vitamins in bacon wrapped asparagus, right?

I like asparagus and when I lived in gary, IN it grew wild/feral in some places. I would like to grow some in NW FL, but I am not sure if it will grow here.

We had a commercial Asparagus farm that was 40 acres near us at one time. Birds in the area would eat the seeds when they went to fern. The farm went out of business, but the birds sitting on the fences pooped the seeds out and they grew in the ditches. It was a popular area for folks without a garden to go pick the wild stuff, but drought and so on has killed all of them now.
One more tidbit of information for anyone wanting to grow it. Asparagus is a saltwater marsh plant that is adapted to regular soils. We throw out rock salt in the beds to keep weeds and grass out.
One has to be careful using that method if there are other garden plants or beneficial bushes downhill from them that rains could leach some of the salt to.
Our soil is sandy loam, so the salt doesn't run off.
