Default Asparagus advice please

Hello all

I planted some asparagus crowns earlier in the year and they seem to
have taken quite well. I haven't harveted any and they've grown into
tallish ferns. Should I cut them back down to the ground for the
winter?


Cut the tops to the ground at first real frost and mulsh is the advice
I am going with.
Mind you, I am a relatively new asparagus grower and haven't harvested
anything yet - so I'll keep an eye on any further (and more expert)
answers you may get :-)
