Description : I was told to leave one spear of asparagus to go to seed, when should I do this
Last Answer : There is not a particular spear that should be left on the plant. In midsummer, when spears are the width of a pencil or thinner, stop harvesting and let the plants develope mature foliage. This will help ensure a good cop next season. Remove the dead foliage in the fall to prevent disease.
