Tackled and prepped the asparagus bed for the winter. Now that the ferns have died and dried and translocated their energy back in the root system I cut everything-off at ground level and removed the debris.
I'll treat it with a water soluble solution of fertilizer matched to the needs of an asparagus planting, give it a light mulching of grass clippings and call it a day.
Asparagus is the first crop to be harvested every year and the last garden member to be put to bed. My patch is 12 years old already. If you manage it properly this perennial garden plant is the gift that keeps on giving.
