Popular wisdom has it that you should cut your asparagus spears when they come up in spring, and then lets the plants go to fern to replenish their strength. This makes sense, but what does it get you in mid-summer? A bunch of ferns and no spears to eat, that’s what. So try this instead. Cut some spears to enjoy for spring dining, but let the rest go to fern. Then in June or July or August, cut down the ferns you let go, and eat the resulting spears that arise. The plants will do fine. Asparagus all summer. Yes!
