What can we do to start this garden again or do we just cover it and plant new seeding? The garden was here when we bought the house and we did enjoy it. We live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Is thi a good area to grow asparagus? We had an asparagus garden 25 years ago but have not harvested it but see deer constantly eating in this area.

Leaving the labels on them may provide additional cover from the sunlight. :) Thanks, Martha!

Both patches do not seem as abundant as yours. Could you let me know if you get more spears per plant as they age?

I cannot say if the taste of white asparagus merits this as I have never had it. Well I think the chlorophyll in the green asparagus is good for you.

It's absolutely true here. So many eyes are on the "wild" patches growing along the back roads ready to snip it and snatch it up. -Apparently there is one region in Europe, France maybe? I will have to check, but anyway it is known to grow the very best white variety- I had this variety to eat once years back in a small restaurant in Switzerland by advise of my dinner companions. They told me to order the menu dinner plate just for this white asparagus that accompanied the meat. It was deeeeelicious!

Tell us when and how do you pick the tall spears. Do you cut them or pull like rhubarb? I haven't picked it since I was a child, and we found it wild in the woods, with my Aunt. I loved it then, as I do now. Loved the blog on asparagus, your pictures are always so perfect. Tell us when and how do you pick the tall spears. Do you cut them or pull like rhubarb?

However much is gone because of how the irrigation ditches have to be maintained to prevent wasting water. No more trees, grass or other water wanters.
