When I lived at the Mid North coast of NSW my asparagus didn't die down until May/Jun, when it became quite cold. Leave it be as these fronds are putting energy into the base and to cut them will only produce more new shoots and sap energy that will be otherwise be stored and used to sprout them next season. I know how frustrating first year asparagus crowns can be! Be sure to mulch well after they die down to protect the crowns.

What’s a good position for them in terms of sun? I’m in Melbourne.

Have dug up a dozen thriving Asparagus plants. Needed to move out of existing bed. Shall the dirt around roots be washed off or left undisturbed? Old heirloom type so need to save successfully. Only a few Spring shoots emerging right now. Thank for your help. Zone B

You can buy online at Hadeco. They have stock at the moment but sell out quickly as they only ship for a couple of months each year.

I planted asparagus three mths ago. My zone is between 9 & 10. The weather has been pretty windy and cold. I water well so cold won't dry the plant. But when will i see asparagus start growing?

Our asparagus is in its third year, grown from crowns, how many stalks should I leave each year to flower and when can you cut off the stalks that have been left
