The large end of asparagus should be cut off -- at least 2 inches depending on the length). Many cooks also use a potato peeler on asparagus to soften the overall texture.

Apparently, one should not "harvest" for the first 3 years!
The size of them isn't the issue. Asparagus must be picked at a certain time or it just keeps growing and is tough.

NO! Ideally, asparagus should be cut back in the fall but it is important that you wait until all of the foliage has died back and turned brown or yellow. This will normally happen after first frost, but it can happen without frost in areas that do not receive frost. This allows additional energy to go into the roots, and helps the asparagus to spread in the spring.
