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.

Not sure, I'm still pretty new with asparagus, (had the bed for 3 years
now) but the lower part that is left ferns out nicely and the snapped
top is tender and tasty!
