Where are the asparagus shoots coming from? I planted asparagus and I have a fern like bush–do the shoots form off the fern some how? Thank you for your help.
@dogtracks39 In the spring cut the ferns all off, all the way to the ground. The shoots will appear in only a few days, or a little over a week–in good conditions. You cut those off with something sharp, right at ground level, and in a little over a week you can harvest again.
How long have you had the plants? Because you should let them establish for a few years before you start to eat it.
They will be about 18 months old in May–
