Asparagus is the earliest vegetable harvested fresh from the garden each spring. After the first year, a productive bed of asparagus can last 15 years or longer so choose your location carefully before planting. Once established it produces heavy yields of dark green 6-12" long with a diameter of about 1/2" spears year after year. Water weekly n ii doesn't rain and cut no asparagus shoots the first year, allow the foliage to grow, yellow and die on its own. The second year cut sparingly only those stalks as big as your finger. As the plant matures root spreads, and a mature plant can produce between ½ to ¾ pounds of spears.
