Default Asparagus harvesting Question

JRYezierski wrote:
How old is the bed?


About 7-8 years.

How long have your been harvesting them this year?


Just started so maybe 1-2 weeks. I usually follow the advice to harvest
until the spears become as thin as pencils. Then I let them fern out.
I still have plenty of thick spears coming up.

How tall are they when your harvest them?


I usually harvest around 6-8".

Answer your question after I know the above.

Ok, so I was a little slack this year on harvesting the spears. A few
got away from me. Should I leave them be or cut them anyway?

Thanks
