Asparagus is easy to grow requiring little care. Just follow these harvesting tips and you too can have a great asparagus patch.
When do I harvest?
You will be harvesting in the spring with the new growth. Fully mature asparagus patches can be picked for up to eight weeks. After that the plant needs to grow and replenish itself for the next season. We are in Minnesota and use the 4th of July as a cutoff for our asparagus picking. This is an easy date to remember and is about the right time period too.
The asparagus plant grows into a large wispy plant that is interesting if not beautiful. Definitely distinctive in the garden. In the fall the plant turns golden yellow. We enjoy the asparagus plants for the texture and color they add to the garden.
