Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I love bending them until they snap at the point where they start to get chewy, at dawn when they are cool and crisp and covered in dew. A real treat to eat while the birds are singing and I am using my collinear hoe to remove the little weeds that try to endlessly sneak into my garden.

Well written!
I love them raw or about any other way. In the 60s and 70s i had several wild patches of asparagus to keep tabs on to catch at the right time. Made for some good meals for a young family.
I had some early but i harvested them heavy last several years so it is a recoup year in my asparagus patch.

When we decided on an asparagus bed for our garden, I overdid it. Bought two varieties and planted a bed about 30 x 2 feet. The batch in the photo went to a neighbor. There'll be another batch about that size, daily, for awhile.
@bigpawbullet Mine is a little larger at 40 foot by 4 rows but my spacing is about 18 inches and have a scattering of seedlings that i let grow to replace some aged ones. Dug up one old crown that petered out.

We're finding volunteer ones all over our property in garden and landscape beds. Chipmunks?
