Do asparagus plants have a life expectancy?
About 10 to 15 years ago I planted 2-year old asparagus crowns.
I cannot remember what variety they were. The first year we ate none. The second year we ate a little. After that we have eaten lots of delicious, large asparagus spears. But for the last 2 years, we have had few edible spears. We get a few nice, large spears, but mostly we get thin, spindly spears the size of a pencil or smaller that we let grow into 5-foot high bushy plants. I am wondering if maybe it is time to dig it up and replant. Or is it a lack of fertilizer or over crowding or what? Thanks. |
