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
Mary

You're meant to leave some ferns uncut to provide energy for the
plant. each year anyway.

Your plants will thank you for it. :-)

When I harvest Asparagus, I let it get a little tall, then just "snap"
the top off. The lower part that remains then ferns out to develop the
root system.
