Has Asparagus Ended?

I picked this today. There’s only a couple-three more peeking out of the warming earth. 

Nothing at all like I was picking every couple of days ten years ago.

I think that after two decades the spargel bed in the kitchen garden has finally come to its natural end.

When you’re as old as I am do you excavate and start over with the knowledge that it will be three more growing seasons before I can harvest?

I already am aware I should’ve started a second bed a decade ago so don't rub it in....
