When to CUT BACK ASPARAGUS
Asparagus is one of my favorite crops to eat right in the garden. The flavor is SO GOOD! Right now, my asparagus looks like a wild jungle, and that's a good thing, it's all part of growing asparagus.
• Asparagus roots produce individual stalks above ground.
When the stalks are harvested in the spring, this depletes the energy from the roots.
• After a period of harvesting, the stalks are allowed to develop into ferns. Vigorous and healthy ferns in the summer help ensure a good asparagus harvest the next spring. (The photosynthesis that takes place in the ferns throughout the summer replenishes the energy of the depleted roots.)
• The ferns go dormant in winter and turn brown or yellow — at this point, they can be cut back. In cold-winter areas, leave the stalks in place until spring; they help protect the root crowns.
• In the spring, shoots appear from the overwintering roots. These stalks grow larger in circumference every year as their life cycle continues.
Are you growing asparagus? If not, now is an excellent time to plant if you live in a mild winter area.
