Does anyone have experience with mature asparagus plants? I have a patch and have no idea what I am doing.
A few weeks ago, it was one small stalk, then today it was many stalks, several feet high, flowering - which I know is past the point of harvesting. I broke off the stalks to about 5 inches, which some website said you should do for wintering, but I cannot figure out with to do mid season with mature plants that I let go too far.
Help, please

At this point just let them grow and then cut them down in the fall. This website has some good tips.
Mid Season you want them to grow out to give the roots as much energy to survive and continue to expand.

After bloom, they seed, as well, from dead blooms, if you leave them up.
Also, pick, blanch, freeze! So you have some all year.
I have had some super sweet ones this year and some really sour ones. Thatâs why they get mixed into a shakeâŚI can pretend they are all perfectâŚand ice cream!

Got the last items planted in the garden plot by the apt carport. Perrenial flowers and herbs already growing and blooming well: mint, Nigela Sativa/Black cumin aka âlove in a mistâ = those blue & white flowers. CA orange poppies just starting. Borage, feverfew, calendula and Crocosmia still small; no blooms yet.
Raspberries and honeysuckle from neighborâs yard reaching over left section of chives and flowers.
Spring garlic, basil, celery and few tomato plants
New veggies: snap peas, zucchini, sungold cherry tomato, Willamette heirloom, Brandywine, Early girl, Roma, and 2 others canât recall.
