Do you have patience to wait years for results?

When we first moved into our house, twenty years ago, we decided to get a quick start on some things, and one of the things we planted was asparagus. It was good to get an early start as it takes at least four years before you can pick it.. unless you like asparagus like toothpicks that is! Unfortunately we planted it on a border and later found out the farmer who has the fields around us, sprays the fields.. so the border spot isn't all that great though we do still get a little asparagus each year from there. What I've done since is each fall plant some of the seeds in a better location (sunny of course as they love lots of sunlight). And now a few years later I have a new patch which I picked a little from this year.. but am still letting it mostly just grow for the most part, as it's still a bit skinny.. and each year you don't cut it, it gets thicker the next year.. This patch took longer than four years, what with being started from seeds! But then, it didn't cost me a thing, except a little weeding! Are you patient? Would you, or have you done a project something like this which takes some time for reults?
