Once the asparagus plant is three years old, you can harvest for two solid months.
Once the asparagus harvest is done for the year, the remaining spears should be left to grow into tall, ferny foliage - perfect for camouflaging fences or providing a feathery backdrop for the rest of the garden.
You should not harvest asparagus until the spear is at least 3/4-inch thick. Most newly planted crowns will not produce this thick of spear until at least the second year. Once the asparagus reaches the correct thickness, cut asparagus when the spears are 6 to 8 inches tall. Use a sharp knife to cut the spear 1 or 2 inches below the surface of the soil. The plant will continue to push up new spears throughout the growing season.
