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.

Now that's what I call getting two for the price of one. :-) I wonder
if yield is affected in the same way the cutting of blooms
encourages more blooms.
