I have vigorously rototilled asparagus beds - with a big tiller - in early May - and asparagus seems to thrive. I have a bed that is 10 years 10+ which got overtaken by weeds - and the tilling really saved the bed - had beautiful asparagus.
Does your asparagus really keep growing from year to year; if you mow the ferns down or don't even let them grow?Christine Burkholder----- Original Message -----From: breckSent: Monday, May 24, 2010 10:57 PMSubject: Re: [Market-farming] asparagusCut some to ground, when new shoots comes up, cook and smell, taste, feed to in-laws……..

We have lived here Almost 2 years. Yesterday, my husband noticed asparagus, or looks like nice thick stalks of asparagus growing in the back yard. This has been mowed at least twice this year. When we moved in, there was no patch of this, and grass growing all in this area. Is there something else that looks like asparagus?
Knot Weed when it FIRST comes up looks like reddish asparagus (and can be eaten, btw, when it's only a few inches tall; taller and it's poisonous, or so I've heard).
More than likely birds planted your patch. For the first few years you might not have noticed the teeny tiny thin ferns. It could also be an old patch that was neglected and forgotten, and now you're seeing stuff because perhaps the grass grew slower than it did. We have such a patch left to us by the previous owners. We pick from it until the grass grows too tall, then we mow, and wait for it to come up again.
