Hi everyone. It's been a long while and I see a bunch of new names.
I've been told to let newly planted asparagus grow for 3 years before a harvest should be made. Mine are just starting their 3rd season and the stalks are 1 to 2 ft. tall now. I'm wondering if I should cut them back to 2 or 3 inches tall to encourage root growth. A neighbor told me that I should have been doing this for the first 2 years also.
I thought I would check with you guys first. Watcha think?
