It takes several years to produce, but asparagus is prolific and seeds itself so your patch keeps on growing bigger...It will produce until you get tired of eating it and then it will just go to seed if not cut. Old plants never die, the asparagus just gets fatter as it ages..

I made the mistake with my patch to mulch it one year to keep the weeds from growing. It killed the plants.

I have a new asparagus patch growing. Can’t wait until it produces. Served with homemade hollandaise sauce, yummmm. I’ve never understood why people claim the sauce is so hard to make and insist on a double boiler. I also don’t understand why people panic over Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.
