Dave, I harvest all the big spears until the middle of June, then quit and
let them grow out the rest of the summer. You have to check them every
other day because they grow pretty fast. Out of 25 plants, 6 or 8 are still
producing spears that are big enough to harvest. I also add fertalizer to
the bed about the end of February in zone 5, before the spears start coming
out of the ground.

Hello, my Asparagus is about 2-3 feet tall and looks like starting to go
to
seed. Do I cut them down so new shoots come up?

Thanks, Dave
